Hi Andy, Could you please change my name to : Justin Leung Thank you.

Hello everyone, glad to be here! Nice to meet you guys! Objective: Admission to MFE programs for Fall 2012 Programming experience: C and a little C++ a while ago. Current work: A Marketing Executive at a small commercial bank. Intended pace of program: End of 2011

Criticisms are definitely expected and welcomed, and I agree some of the points Emalu makes. However, you do not start off by saying: People are mad because Emalu makes his points in a unprofessional and insulting way. People will defend if someone he/she knows and respects is being attacked.

anyone having difficulty going to work this morning?

Aside from TAs, will there be a discussing forum so people can turn to when they have questions?

Can anyone please comment on why there is a record-high applications this year? Is it because of the economic conditions, more people decide to apply to graduate school?

I think for 2 reasons 1) more schools accept GRE. 2) GRE Q section is easier than that of GMAT. By the way, in some countries where they only offer paper GRE exam, it is even harder to get 500+ verbal. Therefore, many people fly to adjacent countries to take the computerized one.

There is a ranking put forward by Quantnet http://www.quantnet.com/mfe-programs-rankings/

I guess another factor is that some borderline people apply for MFE thinking if they cannot make it, they have a chance of being directed to MSOR.

any reason why they have a record high applications this year?

Andy, easier said then done unfortunately..

Cornell asks applicants to expect decisions by 4/1, though. Good Luck!
