Baruch MFE Baruch MFE Admission Discussion

[i.st]

Hello, if you are willing to share what kind of questions were asked- were they more technical or behavioral? Was it very C++ central? Thanks

All technical, I stated in my application that I had no C++ experience, so there were no C++ questions for me. Mainly probability theory and options pricing related questions.

Does anyone receive an interview in round 3? I finished QBA last Friday and Baruch send an email to me just now. They let me check how long I will receive a decision on Tracker.

Baruch has the fastest average processing time at 40 so this should give you a ballpark estimate of when to expect a decision from your submission date.
I saw some admits on Tracker yesterday.

Congrats to @stewerlois who just got an admit!

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

All the hard work seems to have paid off in spades. I’m very grateful for all those on this forum who have asked and answered questions over the years (and I do mean over all the years, there are some great threads from the 2000’s).

This is the only MFE I applied to. There were two stats programs in Switzerland, but I applied to those for reasons unrelated to this career path. I’m happy. I still have to choose whether to accept the offer, but I’m pretty much decided in this and just need to speak with key people in my life before making the decision.

Myself and four other students enrolled in this years batch have started a WhatsApp group. If you’re attending Baruch in the fall, please do reach out so we can add you.

All four admits tracked here are already in, here is hoping some lurkers see this and we can all connect.

Thanks for the heads up Mike.
For those that got an Accepted tracker, please mark it Enrolled if you haven't done so. It would make it so much easy for classmates to connect.
If you are a lurker, I know many are out there, please reach out to Mike so you guys can plan how to navigate the next few months and make the most of your time.
NYC is a big city and it will take sometime to adapt.
