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?

Hi all, I am currently taking Introduction to Financial Mathematics (math 4500) at Baruch College aiming to be a more competitive candidate for Financial Engineering programs. However, I am not doing well, and it is expected my final grade will be B- or B. To remedy this situation, I would...

I think you can put "proficient in c++" on your resume. When you are competitive enough to get interviewed, you will have a chance to show it to your interviewer by saying "I learn it on my own." You will be tested if the interviewer is in doubt. And this is when you can let interviewer know...

I can't attend the information session on 9/17 since I will be in the middle of the class. will the information session on 9/17 and 10/16 be conducted the same manner ? Thank you.

This is like the question in the movie "21" when the professor first met the main character in his class.

I am graduating in May from Baruch. I am a Finance major, minoring in Math. I understand to be more competitive candidate for MFE, it is recommended to take as many Math classes as possible, and this is what I'm planing to do in the fall. However, besides the pre-requisite mentioned on the...
