Yes, surely you can get into one of the top quant programs in the UK such as Imperial, Oxford, Cambridge and such. My limited understanding of the UK quant market is that it's near impossible to break in unless you go to a top program and user the program's brandname and employers connection...

Can you? Yes. Should you? Maybe. Is there anything you find more compelling from your current path? Having a guaranteed employment as a doctor sounds like a dream to me in this market. Jumping into the quant finance is like fighting with a thousands other similarly brilliant top graduates for a...

Majority of students joining MFE out of undergrad without any work experience. This is where having some internship or work experience is beneficial as it will give you better clarity on what you are looking for in the next job. In that sense, you are good, just spend sometime to figure out...

Hi @siuuuu My general advice is do not go in to debt to pay for a brand name. The amount of money you invest in a program should get the same level of investment from the program in your success. If all they offer in return is the brand name and very little help in career services, I would stay...

Here is a relevant topic on how to use the next few months to prepare for interview. Of the topics of importance, I think you should prioritize your programming skills. I would suggest taking the C++ and Python courses here on QuantNet...

Thanks for the heads up Mike. For those that got an Accepted tracker, please mark it Enrolled if you haven't done so. It would make it so much easy for classmates to connect. If you are a lurker, I know many are out there, please reach out to Mike so you guys can plan how to navigate the next...

As it stands, your profile is similar to other applicants from India. Good thing is that you will get into some programs, bad thing is those won't...

Anyone else who recently decided which program to join this Fall? Would love to have a tally here so you can network with your future classmates.

Looks who decided to show up 5 years later. Good to see you again @MariosMGE I'm so glad that you spent time to advice a fellow QuantNet member, a total stranger to you. Your act of kindness clearly made a huge change in another member's life.

Look who just got admitted. Congrats Mike. All the hard work leading up to this point has been worth it, I hope.

I added another chart showing how many domestic vs international applicants applied to the program each year. It also shows acceptance rate for domestic vs China vs India, etc.

It should be there now, right?

Congrats on the admits who got their results yesterday!

There are 25 admits on the Tracker for 2025 and only 2 marking Enrolled so I guess people still waiting for other decision to commit.
