Toronto MathFin UofT MMF Students

[Dismantler]

I'm surprised we have a lot of chatter about the Toronto program this year. There was little discussion about it last few years.
It only has less posts than the Columbia MFE thread this year.

I think the program and profession is growing in popularity within Canada. I lived here for a while and I didn't know much about it until recently. In general, MFE programs are getting a lot of attention right now.

OK, Thank you.
I will let you know as soon as I start to prepare for my living there~

Okay, cool.

Yes, indeed.
I don't know how are things in Canada going, but I'm sure that number of applications for MFE program in China increase at least 30% this year. And most of the applicants with a quite strong background applied to top programs in US and UT.

What is your background ?

Hey, dismantler~
If it's about 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning in Canada now, I think it's time for you to close your computer, and go bed now~~

Well you must be strong enough because they chose to admit you.

What did you study in undegrad and what courses did you take?

I majored in financial mathematics.

I took basic math: mathematical analysis, advanced algebra, real variable functions, complex variable function, probability, ODE;
Basic finance courses focused on economical theories, investment and portfolio management
statistic courses, such as time serious, econometric, statistics

You have a stronger math background and I do!

You'll be fine!

Thank you~
But my programming is much weaker, I guess I need to make up for that and review some math courses this summer~~
I have to go, goodnight and see you

Hey guys (and girls) ! I have also been admitted to the MMF program. It is great to know that its counts with people with a very diverse background! For those who want to find out a bit more about the master, I recommend this thread http://www.global-derivatives.com/forum/index.php?topic=5694.135 as it has posts of people who were students at the time.

I told you not to give up !
Congratz.

There is a facebook group if you guys want to network : http://www.facebook.com/groups/403850749627071/

Yes. I am a Chinese undergraduate just like Yang. Thank you so much for the interview experience in the previous pages. It did help me a lot in the preparation.

hey, has anyone gotten a rejection email? or are they leaving everyone on the hook. I had my interview over a month ago and they said they will get back to me by the end of the month. You guys think it will be a good idea to email them about my status?
