My answer to Laura. '' As far as reputation on Wall Street is concerned, most people know NYU, few people know CUNY/Baruch. This is just a fact I noticed when I came to New York, last September. Although it is highly regarded on the web, it is not the reality in New York, as of right now...

Hello Wayn, I am currently studying in the NYU Courant program. If you have any question do not hesitate to contact me. Paul

You have the Algorithmic Trading and Quantitative Strategies course in NYU s program. http://math.nyu.edu/financial_mathematics/content/03_program/04.html MFE is probably the best way to touch on that although the quality of course may vary from one program to another. Best, Paul

Being on the route of a hurricane is a once in a lifetime experience. If I were you, I would be sad to miss that ;)

If Baruch's Placements & Statistics are as transparents as you imply, why do you need any comment on them? Are you really asking for insights, or are you just making some basic advertising?

What do you imply?

Congrats to all of you! Is CMU your Target school?

@CrazyRussian, Have you considered reapplying next year. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you did not land your dream MFE program this year. Giving it another try next year, with better credentials, definitely is an option. Paul

@Andy Sorry, by "Next Fall", I meant upcoming Fall (2011).

I will start the program next fall.

I will be attending NYU -Courant next year. Can't wait.

By the time, you had not applied yet. By the way this is a 1 year old thread :)

In google NYU Math FI --> Current Student. http://math.nyu.edu/financial_mathematics/content/04_current/class11.html http://mfe.baruch.cuny.edu/student-profiles/ " Deep Inside the website " or just too lazy to search for the Info?

Hi Kenny Lam, I suggest you to go on the websites of the Universities you just quoted above and surf on their website. You can definetely learn more about each program and which one best fits you. You have already done the job^^ I know for sure that NYU & Baruch post the profiles of their...

If you want, I can apply to additional MFE programs to help you reach you goal. I am particularly interested in the new master opening in Hawai. They have a unique course on weather derivatives.

There are much more acceptance on the tracker than rejects. Maybe you can adress it as a lucky charm. It actually worked for me and many others. Good luck @Lin

There are a lot of threads regarding this question. They usually compare NYU VS CMU. Columbia MSFE seems to lag a bit behind those two. (This is a personal opinion)

I do not know. I am from Europe. But at least it is well-known

or choose NYU :D

You shall also ponder over whether you would relish an oportunity to stay in the US in the long term. In that case, if I were you I would go to CMU. Otherwise, I would go to Cornell which has a worlwide recognition (even in Europe where I am from), and particularly strong curriculum (I contacted...

Look at the profile of the current student on the program's website. All of them have professional experience in the industry. An internship or some work experience would be very appreciated there.

I think they are having a hard time figuring out who to admit. There may be many candidate with similar profiles. In such a case it is hard to pick one over others.

Can wait to see how you proceed ! Later this year is pretty vague :confused:

Isn't the new ranking supposed to be released next year? It would be funny to see how programs move upside down in the ranking? Maybe the Mfin of MIT is going to enter QuantNet ranking.

If I had to make a choice, I would defintely go to Cornell ---> It is really a FE program and hosted by an outstanding Engineering College, and moreover with great career services. It is as known as Columbia as far as school reputaiton is concerned.

I do not know much about what it takes to get admission to the best programs. I think Berkeley is one of the best and is really hard to get in. To tell you the truth I did not even apply. But you should give it a try if you want to go there. Just remember that if you want to work in NYC it is...

You should not ask quantnet members where to apply, but ask yourself where you want to be next year. When you are admitted into a program you have chosen, you can not be disappointed since you have reached your own goals. So where do you want to go next year?

What is career service purpose if it is not to gather Job/Internship leads?

Why not Rutgers? it seems like a good school. i do not know about the placments but theyr are pretty aware of quantitative finance, since they have 2 programs

With CMU & Berkeley round 3 & 4 everything is possible :) Columbia& Baruch &NYu seems to have so many applicants. I wish i could see the exact figures

Thanks Andy, It will be my pleasure! I also updated all my applications and wrote a small note for each one. hope it will help new comers Good luck to you guys

If you take a look at the tracker, you can see that interviews are usually set up between 2 and three weeks before the Admission deadline. If we follow this reasoning, you should be getting your interview in early may. Time is on your side.

I applied in early march. I believe it makes me a round 3 applicant :)

I can see a lot of reject / Wailist on the tracker. It seems to be a very selective program.

Congrats

What would be the best option according to you (Ph.D. out of competition)? And of course, could you argue :rolleyes:

except the fact that it may merge with NYU poly ;)

Or the fingerless applicant

@ Andy Indeed @ Grim : Your fingers are gonna be ok?

@ Andy High Probability ^^ @Moksha I got the email too. At least, we know we will have to wait a bit longer. It is nice from them to get us informed about the admission process

It seems that this year is a record year for Quantitative Financne masters. Almost, all the masters have reached their highest number of applicant this year. I read on the net that NYU got more than a thousand application this year.

I might come with you too. I contacted an alumni and she gave me an enthusiastiuc review of the program. She went there during the crisis year (2008/2009) and found a good associate position in structured products in a BB in NY. Sounds not bad at all ^^

Not too late do not worry!

It justifies the price 59 000$ oO

Do you know are far have they processed application and when are we expect to hear from them. I sort of rushed them almost 2 weeks ago and got no news excep that the file is complete and has been sent to department. Thanks Andy

Do not worry they only notice you when solethig was missing' To tell you that tour file is now complete

You still have a chance to get in. All the people whose first choice is not Cornell may leave an empty seat and you could get in. Wait and see Good Luck

You should not look at the University but rather @ the program. Before being interested in MS in FE I had no idea about NYU, Baruch and Cornell @ all. You may have outstanding program with great placement record in less known faculties. School Fame in the world ---> not necessarily correlated...

I heardColumbia MAFN can be extended ... Did you check for it?

When did you apply though?

I received my ID a long time ago. On the 4 th of january to be more specific :)

Fan of latex (not to be mistaken)

It is time for rejections now :)

it is called SMTS. Stands for "Supporting materials tracking system". You can check whether your test scores & transcripts have been received.

Complete hazard ! i am a lucky man.. Hope to be just as lucky in the upcoming hours and days ;p

optimistic or pessimistic siilypig? ;p

Good news Andy ! How do you know?

Congrats Letangke!!

everything in the post title

French and Congrats for getting in Imperial & Oxford

I would go to imperial --> very well established program & math department + possibility to network easily in London.

They do not require a math degree? Where did you see that? I do not have a math degree... Ask other people but I think that CS is OK

So many People are waiting for NYU, is admission more competitive than @ Columbia?

1) No need to look for the reasons why you got rejected, you did not match or was not good enough. 2) Cass is definetely your better option ;p

Are you full timer or Part Timer?

Informal admission by email and then a few weeks later an email saying decision available.

i got my admit on a sunday afternoon :)

pray

looking at the forum you can wait until july :).

After sending email to the GSAS ---> application complete waiting for outcome!

Very good Idea! It would provide a good insight on programs that do not release career placements! Keep going with your great work. Paul

Do not know yet. Very hard to choose! What about you? Have you reached a decision?

3/11/11

I applied without the GRE subject test (It was not available in my homeland) so you should not bother too much. Taking the GRE subject is proof of your high motivation ---> You should definitely report it

Last year all admission result felt within the same time frame.

Do you have any idea of when will be the ad be released?

Will Bear, Do you pay more I you extend the length of your program? This sounds weird to pay more for the same diploma ...

Dear Aiflin, In order to have a better idea of the strengh of you application, maybe what you can do is compare yours to the other applicants one from IIT. My 2 cents ;) Wish you the best, Paul

@vashok I strongly believe that you have to go to a master which you will be happy in and where you are sure to suceed You definetely should make your decision according to your preferences and how much you like quantitative reasoning. A part of your choice should also depond on your...
