Hey @ats Welcome to QuantNet. You would not find another place better when it comes to researching top quant programs and breaking into the industry. As it stands, your profile is similar to other applicants from India. Good thing is that you will get into some programs, bad thing is those won't...

Anyone else who recently decided which program to join this Fall? Would love to have a tally here so you can network with your future classmates.

Looks who decided to show up 5 years later. Good to see you again @MariosMGE I'm so glad that you spent time to advice a fellow QuantNet member, a total stranger to you. Your act of kindness clearly made a huge change in another member's life.

Look who just got admitted. Congrats Mike. All the hard work leading up to this point has been worth it, I hope.

I added another chart showing how many domestic vs international applicants applied to the program each year. It also shows acceptance rate for domestic vs China vs India, etc.

It should be there now, right?

Congrats on the admits who got their results yesterday!

There are 25 admits on the Tracker for 2025 and only 2 marking Enrolled so I guess people still waiting for other decision to commit.

Hey @Bjorn Thor Stefansson I have seen people recommend joining a public speaking club like Toastmasters. Any specific resources or websites you would recommend?

Last year, they sent offer to 155 applicants out of 1473 applicants. This year, we already have 25 admits out of 67 members on our Tracker. This is an astounding number because while only account for 4.5% of last year applicant numbers, we have 1/6 of last year admit.

Another week and the number of pending is still at 42. We only account for a fraction of the actual applicant pool so I imagine there are hundreds of applicants still pending at this point.

In life, the best lesson is from someone's mistake and failure, not from someone's success. So thank you for sharing your story. What would you do differently to avoid your mistake?

Hey @OmMilind Welcome. It would be great if we know more about your profile (GPA/GRE, etc) and when you got accepted to the programs. Please take a second to add them to the Tracker. Thanks...

It's amazing to look back and see how far we have come with the Tracker project. It started in 2009 :)

Hey Manas, Do you have any idea what you like to do after your risk rotation? Do you enjoy that kind of jobs? With your C++ background, the easiest way to get in without doing a master degree is to target the QD roles. Research some roles and see their requirements. Take the Python course...
