Hi Andy, I have been reading your comments in forums for months and I am very impressed about your knowledge in this field. I am a PhD in Applied Mathematics and an early stage Assistant Professor in Applied Mathematics with strong programming knowledge in Matlab and C++. My goal is to become a Quant. I was wondering what would be your suggestion for the simplest way to achieve this goal.
Thanks, Zeev

Hey Andy,planning to take C++ course in Spring 13. But a target school has this on their PreReq page:
Prerequisite courses may only be taken in a regular classroom setting; online or Internet courses are not accepted.
http://www.finmath.rutgers.edu/index.php?d=admissions&p=prerequisites
Does this apply to your course as well?
Thanks, Umair

Hi Andy. I talked to you before about the C++ programming course offered on this website. I am now ready to commit myself to this course. And I have pre-registered. Do you think I can get enrolled anytime soon? Or I have to finish level 1 and level 2 first?

Hi Andy, I am a undergraduate stuent who is going to declare a major. I am interested in finance, physics, and math. My dream job is working as a quant. I am not sure if going to business school of USC or UCBerkerley and double major in math is a good choice. I can also take six computer classes to get a computer science minor. Or do you think getting a C++ certificate during or after education is enough. Thank you!

Hi Sir, I saw that you had posted a message about an Excel/C# newsreader. I had a similar idea. Is there any way that could get that Excel code from you so that I dont have to write my own code? Thanks,

you can email me at matthewcoxinvest (at) gmail.com.
Thanks
Matthew

Hi Andy, I'm sorry to bother you. I've decided to take up a course in the C++ certificate for Baruch, however, i can only be free after december this year, 2012. I wonder if it is possible if you could schedule one class to begin after the 1st Dec 2012? Or if there might be another enrollment for the C++ after this Oct Enrollment, which i could participate in..
sorry..

Hi Anh Andy, my name is Hoang. I'm glad to see a Vietnamese quant in here. I am still an undergraduate student, but I'm very interested in the field of financial engineering. I was wondering if I could have a chat with you occasionally to learn more about this field. thank you in advance.

Hey Andy. New website for Columbia MAFN. Seems the program changed a little bit: http://www.math.columbia.edu/mafn/degree-requirements/

I have a suggestion for 2013 Rankings: for them to come out at the first quarter. I don´t know if the logistics would make this impossible. I'm just suggesting because at that quarter most people decide which program to enroll, so fresh information would be very helpfull

Hello Andy, thanks for the guide! The articles are very interesting and helpful for people like me who wish to enroll to a program starting in September 2013.

Hi Andy!
Thank you for the last QuantNet guide, it is a great piece of work. Just a slight correction - page 70, SQA column, 3rd row. There is "Membership Description" in the cell, which I think does not belong there.

In case there is going to be a revised version sometimes in the future

Hi Andy! I have a question regarding Masters in USA. First, let me give you a heads up on what I have scored in GRE. It was a let down and I scored 305 (V-147 and Q-158). I'd like to understand if I can manage to grab a seat for MFE in any of the decent colleges in USA. Can you please guide me through about this? Or am I just wasting my time trying with such low scores?
