call me Vic for short:)


Education: BS Economics Nanjing Univ.,China, expected in Jun.2007
GPA 3.6/4.0
GMAT 770/99%, GRE MATH SUB. 750/81%

Awards: CFA Society Scholarship,2007 winner.
State 2rd Prize, China Undergraduate Mathematics Contest in Modeling.

Graduate thesis: Pricing a class of discrete lookback options( on work and encounter some difficulties in modeling,but i hope to keep on and can be able to solve it finally.)

No W/E, an intern and some unformal experiences in a research institute of an local securities company. mainly did some assistant work on report the CRAZY warrant market in China ( im sure everybody here cant immagine that a deep OTM put warrant in China's market has a volatility of 120% !!!!!) American analysts just cannt understand those professionals in China.

C++: im also interested in programming languages and got to know C++ in my freshmen year. my main problem is that i havent practised too much on it, BUT i have kpet programming C++ 100 rows everyday for a few days and hope to keep on and gain 10k rows more experiences on C++ before i get to Baruch.

Other interest: football, im football captain of my undergrat department and i once led them win a championship in our univ.




Finally, say hi to all students in Baruch and thanks to Dan, i think i will be here in Aug. also i have
to thank Pro. Kwok in HKUST who once had very nice talks with me for one whole day and also gave me admission to their Fin_Math program which i will not finally accept. To me, NY is more attractive, i feel so sorry to him,really.


Last thing:
i have to note that we cant reach "quantnet" in mainland China and i guess maybe this website has been forbidden to browse by China's Government( i dont know why). have any sensitive or offensive words appreared here? Today i get here by using a free American proxy server, very unconvenient.

Hi Vic,

So I gather that you were admitted to Baruch 2007 and decided to study there ? If so, big congratulations and we look forward to meeting you soon.

Thanks for info. I have heard a couple of students from China saying they can't connect from mainland. Never thought that quantnet is infamous enough for the Chinese gorvernment to put quantnet on their ban list. That sounds really weird to me since we are apolitical, educational forum.

Will take a look and see if we can figure out a way around this. I probably will email you and other Chinese students to see if the alternative works. In the meantime, proxy is your only choice. Sorry for the inconvinience.
