Hey Donny...I would like to give you a call discuss this opportunity with you. I have carefully read the requirement and I know a few well qualified people(including myself) who would be more than interested to purse this opportunity. I just need a few more details. Please send me your contact number at abhishek.kumar@hertshtengroup.com

Hi Andy, I want to do the C++ certificate that Quantnet offers and am just wondering when would be the next possible time to enroll? I noticed that you mentioned that during the 1st and 15th of every month one will be able to enroll, however, is this still the case? Thanks

hello Sir, i like finance and its mathematical aspect. i am not a big fan of programming. some programming is fine but i would not want a course which is built around programming. I find MIT and Princeton courses really nice but one can never be sure about being admitted. So suggestions for any other school which has nearly the same curriculum? Any help is appreciated. thankyou!

Hello, I got an admission from UCLA mfe program. Are you a current student there? what do you think of this program? How is the career serivce? There are some really bad review of the program on the quantnet. Is the placement records are all windowdressed? And the school lies about the career service? I also got an admission form Columbia OR program. Do you know anything about this program? Thank you very much!

Hi, I read your opinion on admit to different programs. I got an admission from UCLA MFE . What do you think of this program? I saw some really bad review of this program on this website, saying that this program has zero exposure to the industry or career service, and the placement record on the official website is windowdressing. I also got an MSOR from Columbia, which AD is better? Thank you very much!

I can't tell you anything because I didn't go to any of those programs. Try to find some former alumni or current students so you can get good information.

I will take all the posts on this site regarding schools with a truck load of salt since most of the people here are just prospective students so they have no idea of what is really going on with those programs.

Hello Professor Ken Abbott, I'm currently a finance and mathematics major student in China. I plan to step into the career in Quantitative finance, particularly my interest is about risk management. Would you please share with me what's the typical risk manager's career path and how should I do to become a sucessful risk manager? Thanks a lot!

I have taken two online courses data analysis(in R) and algorithm (a little Java and C). But many schools still don't put on any weights on them during my application.
Any idea and suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Andy.

My BG: B.S. in Eco & MS in Finance. 4 years of W/E in Commercial Banking ( a little quantitative about risk hedging and structured products). For me, finance and math is not a problem. Statistics is also practiced and learned in school. But programming is really my drawback. My lack in Math is advanced prob and PDE.

Andy, I am avid in getting access into one of the MFE/MSQF programs because I want to switch to this area. Being rejected by a few programs this year with reasons of 1. No programming exposure, 2. Not enough maths, I wonder what can I do to make me more qualified in order to apply next year. (I have to do it right now, just a few months left).

We offer an online C++ certificate for people who apply to MFE programs. You can complete them to improve your programming weakness

Thanks for replying, Andy. I know this certificate. Actually I'm thinking about applying for this certificate. But do you think it's enough for my "lack of quant" disadvantage? And I'm not sure about its applicability. How can I show that I made a big improvement especially when applying for programs other than Baruch?(No bias)

Hi Professor, I am MBA fin. from a tier 1 Bschool in India. Currently working as a business analyst in an IT company. I Did Mechanical Engineering from reputed institute. I was good in Maths from early days. Curriculum of MFE feels truly enriching. But looking the risk return perspective what will be your take in applying for course. Kindly advice.

Hello professor. I got admitted to MQF at Rutgers and MFE in CGU. I am confused about which course to go for. As an International student good job opportunity is a priority and challenge as always. Please advice. It would be a great help.
