Baruch MFE Baruch MFE Questions...

[Joy Pathak]

Hey guys... A few of you have got admission at Baruch MFE and I am sure you have questions about the program. Please feel free to post ANY question you have here, and myself or current students/alumni will more than love to answer your questions. I have got messages from most of the admits I see, and many of the questions are redundant. I have no problem talking to you through private messaging and answering your questions but some things that are redundant can be answered here for all.

As we are a very transparent program, you can find most of the information about employment on the Baruch MFE website.

I have a question but I think only prof. Stefanica will be able to help,

I'm looking at the "Schedule of Classes, Class of 2011" that I received with the admission email and I can't find the Algo Trading course. I think prof. Stefanica once said that it would be offered every spring semester, has it changed?

Thanks.

At present it is called MTH 9867 - Time Series Analysis and Algorithmic Trading.

The first half covered time series (taught by Jay Damask) while the second half covers Algo Trading/Stat Arb (taught by Jim Liew)

It is highly likely that the course would be offered next year. As far as I (or pretty much any of the other students) can tell, nothing has changed with regards to that.

There was a typo, it will be offered in spring 2012.

Thank you, Roni, MTH 9867 will be offered every Spring semester from now on.

I am wondering if there is a page for current students/alumni. I would like to know what they did in the past, and are currently doing in terms of projects/research.

The employment statistics page look great, but it doesn't say anything about the long run outcome. How long does a former student stay in this field after they graduated? I know it's subjective but it would be great to see some numbers.
As Dan always says... people in Wall St. never retire

Here is the page for the student profiles.

Thanks Steve, I have seen this. Just thought there might be a more detailed page of something they did when they were in the program.

I'll be bak! [with more questions]
