Thankyou so much Andy.

Anyone with a review about Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Financial Engineering and Risk Analytics? or about Georgia State university's Mathematical Risk Management program?

 

[AnoopRN]

I've read the available reviews. Guys at QN deserve special credit, this is a must read for any and all prospective applicants.

I assume you will be accepting more than one review per school ?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Thanks for the compliments.
We do receive multiple review for each program. We don't see any good reason for limiting the number of review per program.

It's essential that prospective students get multiple reviews for a specific program to make an informed decision.

We are working with various programs to establish a framework where QuantNetwork can independently and discretely verify the identity of each reviewer and the privacy of our reviewers are kept confidential.

We just received a review of the Chicago MathFin grad who studied ft in the program from 07-08. He turned down NYU FinMath and CMU MSCF to join Chicago.

 

[Joy Pathak]

It would be nice to see an IIT- Ms Finance review.

We just received a review for the UCB MFE program from a long time member on QN.

We just received a review for the UCB MFE program from a long time member on QN.

This review definitely casts UCB in a different light. I am surprised however that this is the first UCB review. With the placement stats they put up year after year, some graduates should have something positive to say about the program

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Maybe that's the problem. We outsiders may only see impressive numbers they put up but don't know what's going on inside.

Genuine learning takes a back seat to internship, employment statistics.

Exactly why reviews by these graduates are extremely valuable.

UCB , wow, did not expect that coming.

I wouldn't write UCB off just based on one review

 

[Andy Nguyen]

You shouldn't. Nobody should base their decision on one review, however positive/negative. Hopefully, over time, we will receive enough reviews for a given program.

As far as I know, besides the marketing stuff you see online, you hardly see any inside info from people who actually graduated from the program. So this is as good as it gets of having an inside peek.

We have published another review of UCB MFE program from someone who happens to be a long time member on QN.
This will give our members a chance to hear from both happy/unsatisfied customers of the program and this is the ultimate purpose of our reviews.

These reviews definitely remove the veil of Infallibility from some of these programs, and sort of levels the playing field for the paying 'customers'
