I know, MSCF students don't know how to get jobs, especially compared to MBA students, which have better numbers. I can't wait until this years numbers come out.

Agree with this here. CMU is doing a lot by bringing employers and preparing students. The rest of it is on the students.this.
a lot of it is on the students, as well. most come from environments where getting good grades has always been enough. newsflash: that won't cut it anymore. many students don't follow the markets at all, couldn't give you an investment pitch (for any product), and say that they want to trade without knowing anything about trading or what products they want to trade and why.
cmu teaches you a lot and brings employers to students, but the students have to close. cmu can't drag you across the finish line.
granted, some students might just have a string of bad luck, but i'd be willing to bet a good amount of money that those cases are far less common than students going into interviews and dinging themselves within the first few minutes.
If you think 2011-2012 was bad, imagine how the 2008 class probably felt.
depends on how you define majority, but CMU did has the higher percentage of student going to S&T and FO quant compare to other MFE program. Through me stat if I am wrong. Do not quote my sentence and throw back question mark!!!" The majority of the people go to S&T or quant programs at major banks." This isn't true.
Couple of Qs for CMU current students / alumni --
1. Do you have lectures every day of the week ? How many hours of lectures do you have in a week?
2. Roughly how many hours do you spend on homework in a week?
Thanks!

I would say that if you are able to correctly manage your time, you will have time to practice sport
... you want a job in Cali and not in NYC?There is a ton of misinformation on this forum about MSCF. I agree and would choose Berkeley.
Are you joking?
... you want a job in Cali and not in NYC?
It's really a toss up. You can scream bloody murder all you want, but a couple of years ago a student from Berkeley came forward and did the exact same thing, strongly disputing the employment figures that that university officially publishes. At least you're not saying that the info CMU puts on its website is fabricated.
The toss up goes as follows:
Berkeley, being a state school is cheaper (and also shorter). Also much nicer weather and California-based jobs.
CMU gives you access to NYC. Which will either open unbelievable amounts of doors to you, or be something you squander completely. I interviewed with a hedge fund that only interviewed me and a couple of candidates from MSCF. They were only there because the guy that runs the hedge fund could walk to the MSCF campus and ask them for a resume book. This is what Berkeley just cannot give you, no matter how much they spin the whole "we're on the bank recruitment circuit too!" line. (the part they omit - "along with everyone else")
