    Value of MBA w/ Quantitative Finance specialization

    If you want to a mixture of MBA/MFE, you might also want to consider the MSOR program at Columbia. I know that program is far from the favorite on Quantnet, but I am in it now and you can do a mixture of MBA/MFE courses. As an example, I am taking Pricing Models for FE and a MBA finance course...

    ishant, 1. I did 2. No I have not received the letter nor have I paid - great that you paid 3. I have no idea - why don't you call or email to ask them... We are all here to help, but there are certain questions you should really ask admissions....

    COMPARE LSE Financial Mathematics VS Imperial Risk and Financial Engineering

    Being polite is good, but only if you get your answers. Just like being a trader, it pays to be aggressive once in a while (especially in this case since you are paying them a huge sum of money). And like Andy mentioned, you are the paying customer and you should feel good about the product you...

    Haha, ishant, you don't need to panic. You are already accepted, you just got to do what they are asking you (as weird as it sounds in this case), which is simply e-mail them back saying you received the notification. If they want something else, I am sure they will let you know. And of course...

    Share your experience with MFE application process this year

    Ah ok, got ya. I know the systems used by CU and BU are totally different, but don't know if they have an actual application name (someone else might be able to fill this in) since I didn't see them. It is true that they are not very sophisticated. Right off the bat, maybe the following...

    Share your experience with MFE application process this year

    Cool, I will start us off - 1) I applied to BU MSMF and Columbia MSOR, and both were great. Both very responsive to e-mails/calls (Columbia had a harder time with phone calls later on, but they were interviewing at the same time, so it didn't bother me much). I thought both systems were fine...

    @ishant, You can always e-mail Adina (who is super helpful and has answered all my questions) your pertinent questions. Otherwise, when the open house does take place (which I will be attending), you can send me questions you have and I will be more than happy to ask them for you. Andy also...
