Princeton MFin Princeton Master in Finance admission results

Lol I'm 1 year in the industry and studied the topics in the Baruch QBA and Columbia MFE prereq self-assessment for about 3 weeks and feel good about only 6/9

What are the 3 questions you didn’t feel good about

 

[explainxkcc]

It looked like some questions were supposed to be straightforward but they looked difficult

 

[ultimatron]

Anyone managed to answer the question on Stochastic Calculus and the one on Matrix (linear Algebra) ?

yep i was able to crack that stochastic Calculus question. bit tricky though they presented limiys of integral in the negative x axis.

the matrix one was easy to solve but i think i messed up my calculation.

 

[daxabooi]

Was the sequences question wrong by any chance? I think they messed up the pattern in between. I still solved it assuming what the pattern should have been

wait I don't really see it - it was asking for a sum though? I could've misunderstood.

Right it was asking for the sum but if I recall correctly the terms shifted from n/(3^(n-1)) to n /(3^n) midway through the sequence.

what is the answer for the inequality question? i did not work out any solution among the given choices

 

[mountstill]

anyone knows the answer to the inequality question? i work out a solution that is not among the choices...

 

[GWeitz]

I think I messed up the bounds on the stochastic calc and think I messed up the calc one too. Don’t remember the third.

I did (with a questionable assumption or bad math) and, apparently, none of the answers were correct . There goes one I felt good about.

So from the email we all received today/yesterday. What do you think are the two questions with the typos

i think the series question and matrix question( not sure)

 

[daxabooi]

i think the series question and matrix question( not sure)

Series question yes, the matrix one matched one of the options. I am not sure which is the second one, all others seemed to have a matching answer.

which one was the series question ?

And you’re saying the typos were neither the stochastic question nor the matrix ? (That’s the two I found hard)..

for stochastic dont think there was any typo i solved it but i was also confused after seeing the options but they just inverted the integral from +ve to - ve

 

[ultimatron]

Btw will there be equal weightage for each question or it will be based on difficulty of the question? i think after they removed 3 questions probably makes sense to have a weightage based on difficulty to assess the candidate correctly.

Actually, I think the other typo was in the stochastic problem. I remember they put sigma * sqrt(t) in the bracket of ln, but I think it should be out of the bracket of ln? ... although I'm not very sure.

I also dont remeber the options exactly now but when i was solving i found the exact mathing answer.

Did anyone of you receive interview invites yet?

 

[ayushbathla]

Not yet! Request you all to please update here in case you get the interview invites. Thanks
