@mokline.iyed Another review just came up. You are lucky to be asking this question when a group of alumni is generous enough to be sharing their reviews. Just ask away and I think most of them will help.

When we rank programs, we request an extensive amount of data which many UK/Europe programs are not equipped to provide. They are good programs for sure but for now, I would rather focus my limited resource on getting as many reviews from people like @vlakectomaz as possible. Let's see how it...

Another student sent me his blog where he documented the interview process with UZH ETH https://andytran.nl/blog/

And just as I posted this, the first review is up. Perfectly summarizing what I said above. https://quantnet.com/resources/uzh-eth-ms-in-quantitative-finance.94/reviews#resource-review-2918

We should get a few reviews from UZH ETH alum coming shortly. From what I'm told, it's a great program but with low visibility outsize of Switzerland/Europe. Students told me the employment law makes it impractical for non-EU students to gain employment there. As a result, many of them find...

MIT MFin is absolutely killing it right now in term of the number of applications they received. Since its inception in 2009, it has surpassed 2,000 applications in three separate admission cycles, a remarkable testament to its global appeal and reputation. 2,083 applications in 2016 cycle...

Yes, provided that you are similarly qualified. Still have to check all the boxes.

You can go to the programs like UCB MFE, UCLA MFE that have the local connection there. Or you go to the like of CBS MSFE, something that is two year long with a focus on PhD level courses.

Take the C++ course. Define your career goal and then find programs that match this goal. If you want to work in a risk management role, with a good work life balance, live in a slow pace, low cost of living city like Charlotte, then NCSU is a great choice. This is just one example.

No problem. If you don't get in this year, you can always apply for Spring 27 like original plan. At least you have a chance to find out your weakness to improve.

There are many applicants from round 2, 3 with Waitlisted status on the tracker. As you are applying in the last round, it's now a wait and see for you. The program will process waitlisted applicants from previous rounds first. How many seats available for last round will depend on the yield and...

All the joint requests from Enrolled members have been sent. Please network and make the best use of your time before starting the program.

Hi Jian. Please post your application on the Tracker, then you can participate in the main UCB MFE discussion thread.

Yes

You are just scratching the surface of what we can offer here. Stick around, read sticky threads and other resources and you will likely be more prepared than most applicants. That is in itself a selling point when you apply. The Tracker data will show you that our members have much higher...
