Happy Belated Birthday, Andy :)

Thanks a lot Andy, alain and bigbadwolf for the quick comments. I just went to Craiglist and was shocked with the rent... I'm paying $420 for a huge apartment in MN so my definition of space will definitely change once I get to NYC :cry:. I was looking at google Map and it seems Jersey...

Hi everyone, I will be enrolling in the Baruch MFE program this year, starting with the refresher courses this summer and I'm looking for housing in NY. I'm currently going to school in Minnesota so I'm not very familiar with the New York area. Could you please give me some advice on housing...

I just got the Savitch book today and start reading... It seems like a great book for beginner, simple language and articulate explanations!!! Thanks Andy for the suggestion ;) By the way, I'm wondering how the workload for refresher courses would be? There will be one class at a time, so I...

Thank you Muting for your thought :). What you and Andy said are true, to make the most of my learning experience at Baruch, I should spend time studying and not worry about expenses. The tuition and living expenses would probably be investments with very attractive returns :D. 4 hours of...

Hi everyone, my name is Viet. I'm currently a senior from Macalester College. Most likely I will be enrolling in Baruch MFE in Fall 08' :)

Thank you very much for the advice, Jacques, I really appreciate it!! Do you think that studying for the CFA exam and trying to take it at some point will be important/necessary for a Quant career? I think for Investment Management or Research career, it is very important but I don't know how...

Thank you very much for the reply Andy. Sleeping 4 hours is tough, so I guess I should practice that from now #-o. But I wonder if the students do homework together and help each other out? Are the assignments mostly group projects or individual works? I'm sure with that amount of workload, you...

Hi everyone, my name is Viet Hoang, a senior from Macalester College, Saint Paul Minnesota. I submitted my application to the MFE 08' program in the end of January 08' and I just spoke with Professor Stefanica on the phone this morning. I was very excited to hear the good news from Prof...
