Hold: Requested that I take the pre-program courses.

Allocation of Time I'm not sure I agree with that. It made more sense to me to try for at least a B in every class. Any C grade means that I would have had to wait an extra year to begin my graduate studies. Withdrawing from the course would have meant the same thing. In this case, all B's...

more specifically here's my point. I spent essentially all my time on one class, and I struggled with it. The instructor was terrible, and that was a major factor. The other classes came easily to me. My grades were midrange due spending all my time on Calc III. I'm not concerned about my...

Hi, I was hoping that I could get a little feedback. Here's my situation. I have a hold status from Berkeley (rejected my UCLA). 770 GMAT, University of Rochester MBA. Berkeley requested that I take Calc I, II, III, Linear Algebra, Discrete, and Differential Equations. Calc I and II were a...

Accuracy of Results I think you may find that clicking on the programming tab provides results similar to those obtained from the site you mentioned. In other words, it is my hope that a person will be able to drill down and obtain more targeted results if needed. The goal is to have all of...

Search Results vs. Advertisements I think you may be referring to the advertisements, which are not as targeted as the search results.

GRE Math vs. GMAT Kshitij, I'm not sure. Definitely thinking about it. Matthew

Simplicity of Search This makes sense. Most likely I will combine commodities and futures and possibly combine some of the other things as well. The reason some of the searches pull up identical information in different categories is I have not completed the differentiation algorithm...

Modifications I have made some additional modifications based on this feedback. I have added some additional sites. I have also created a way to drill down and divide results into categories as follows: 1) Documents 2) Programming 3) Mathematics 4) News 5) Research and Data. Take a look if...

MBA vs. MFE I have an MBA from the University of Rochester and am applying to MFE programs. If you would like to discuss the differences in further detail I may have some insights for you.

I have made some changes that should improve search results for both "recovery lock" and "double no touch". Can you tell me more specifically about what you mean when you say you are looking for results that "return something useful"? Thank you. MG

Capturing Results from Global Derivatives This change has been made. Thank you. MG

Additional Update I have made an additional change so that a search for vega brings up a definition as the first result. Thanks for your contribution. The engine currently searches about 21, 700,000 pages. The QuantNetwork bulletin boards are included in the portal, as well as all linked...

Vega Search (Google) By contrast, a search on "vega" using the normal google search engine appears to results in 0 out of the top 30 search results having relevance to finance or financial engineering. Matthew

Vega Search Tell me if I'm counting wrong...it appears that 27 out of the first 30 search results for "vega" are related to financial engineering or the field of finance. Matthew

Vega Search This appears to be due to my inclusion of the Reuters site in the search results. The engine is a work in progress, as I mentioned, and I appreciate the changes so that I can make improvements. Even as is, it is my hope that the engine will cut down on some of the "crap" that...

I have/am creating a financial engineering search portal at http://finsearch.mgraham.us. Currently, the engine searches 1466 finance-related sites using google as a back-end. It allows a person to do a search for something like "delta" without having to wade through unrelated things such as...

MFE Advice- UCLA Rejection Thank you to everyone for the advice and kind words provided upon my sharing of my rejection from UCLA. I have made a compilation of the advice I have received: MFE Advice I will add to to the list as others weigh in with their thoughts! Thanks, Matthew

Here is my rejection letter from UCLA: UCLA MFE Rejection Letter I'm really disappointed, but I'm not giving up. Thanks for your kind words.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the likely quality of the UCLA MFE program? I applied to Berkeley and UCLA only. I have an MBA from the Simon School (University of Rochester), 770 GMAT's, and have "hold" status for Berkeley. I applied for the last UCLA deadline and have not heard anything...
