grichmond Verified User. Likes Earned: 1232 You certainly have a highly unorthodox - and very intriguing - profile! Numbers look fantastic on the academics front. Are you US-based? Was your work for the US government? In what capacity? Any interesting milestones with respect to you career as an author? Can you provide greater specificity on your goals and how they mesh with you past experiences to date? In short, I think you clearly can 'stand out', but feel like I need a bit more detail to better understand the likelihood you will demonstrate an ability to 'fit in'. Final question: what did you study for your master's degree? Best of luck and thanks for sharing! (1)

I majored in economics and finance both in undergraduate school and graduate school, and I also worked as an analyst for a financial regulatory department in China for several years. (0)
