  1. Have anyone heard of XR trading company?

    Thanks. There are just so many prop trading firm out there. Besides those big names, not sure how those small firms are doing.

  2. Have anyone heard of XR trading company?

    Dear my friends, I am recently applying for XR trading company's junior trader internship. I was trying to find out more about the firm, such as their strategies, products they trade and their firm culture. But it seems there is not anything available on Google. So I am wondering if any of you...

  3. CMU MSCF New CMU MSCF student profiles page

    Indeed. The number does not match. very strange. ... Class profile reveals that there should be 40 Pitts full time and 38 NY full time On the profile page, there are only 33 Pitts full time and 21 NY full time Whats going on?

  4. CMU MSCF Reapply to CMU

    I have been struggling to make a decision to go to work or CMU. After a while, I feel maybe work in Fed for a year would be beneficial to job hunting post-mscf. So probably one year will be just enough. However, I asked CMU and apparently it does not grant admission deferral. So I am planning to...

  5. CMU MSCF Reject after CMU MSCF interview

    If you want to be a quant, maybe NYU and UCB is better for you. CMU most of the time place its students in S/T and risk management

  8. CMU vs Fed

    I will definitely like to defer my CMU admission. I will call them tomorrow. But the problem is, on CMU's website, it states explicitly that they do not defer.... that's why it is so hard for me to choose. I am just thrilled at both choices.

  9. at least I heard it is not easy for international students to find a job. I never applied there...

    at least I heard it is not easy for international students to find a job. I never applied there. But the school has really good stats department. So I would assume the course contents are good though. When you applies for a master degree which only has roughly 1.5 years span, I would recommend...

    Hello everyone, first of all, thank you so much for your helps so that I could get my CMU admission today. It has been a year with a lot of preparations, anxieties and excitements, and I have made so many good friends in this process. It has really been an invaluable experience! In fact, besides...

  11. COMPARE CMU MSCF vs NYU MSMF

    I would like to provide some information regarding the course schedule in NYU. Last time I visited NYU and talked to the admission coordinator. Apparently, its MF program holds classes two days a week, and usually are in the evening. Either from 5pm-7pm or 7pm to 9pm. Personally, I don like this...

  15. Columbia MSOR or Cornell Financial Engineering

    To be honest, not offensive, I think we are all perfectionist, we hope no matter what we choose will end up to be the best possible way we may have. But alas, could it be possible given two are equally well? Who knows what will happen two years from now. I think maybe we should just relax a...

  16. Columbia MSOR or Cornell Financial Engineering

    Sorry man, I just got redirected. Feel not very happy about the school. That's it lol. You know, a lot of personal feeling involved. All financial engineering programs are excellent. That's why so many exceptionally good people pursue this degree. But everyone share different views on these top...

  17. Columbia MSOR or Cornell Financial Engineering

    I would suggest to go to Cornell. 1. 5 year is about right to learn something and have an internship experience, while 1 year is just something on your resume without so much value. IMO

    Em....probably because Columbia has great reputation for its Bschool? I will be very satisfied with Cornell, and prefer 1.5 year in general. But anyway, good luck tomorrow!

  19. Columbia MFE Phone call from Columbia MFE admissions ?

    I guess the financial crisis screwed all of us. When I was sophomore and junior, it was at the heat of the crisis. I was not able to find any internship at all. Without any internship, it was very hard for me to land on a good full time job this year. As a result, I resorted to apply to graduate...

  31. Columbia MFE Phone call from Columbia MFE admissions ?

    Actually, I am just wondering when you guys was filling up the application, on the section asking you if you want to apply for Columbia-provided financial aid, did you say Yes or No? Will the school give priorities to those students did not apply for financial aid? Just some random thoughts...

  35. MFE Career Path

    Hi, All Actually, I am still a little bit unsure about MFE career path. So after a MFE degree, is it still useful to go to a MBA program after work for a few years? I feel if one wants to get to managing position, MBA degree is still quite important right ? A MFE degree may help you land a job...

  36. Am I doomed for MFE program application?

    Thanks Andy. That is somehow reassuring. I think I really do not have a good amount of time retaking the GRE, since I am busy with my honors project and other classes. But I think I will ask my Professor to reiterate my writing skills in different politics and economics seminar classes. Do you...

  37. Am I doomed for MFE program application?

    Just got my total GRE score reported online. 710v+800q+3.5 writing. The writing score is quite unexpectedly low. I thought I wrote well, but anyway. I am not sure with this low writing score, will my chances into NYU, CMU and Cornell being tremendously diminished? On my transcript though, I...

    Hi, although I got my BA from US, I am still considered as an international student when I apply to MFE programs. Since my undergraduate school has covered my tuition costs for all four years, my family has not been under huge financial constraints. But now, when I checked those MFE programs...

  40. MFE of phd for HFT

    Just out of curiosity, usually how many MFE grad can go to HFT? and how many phd in finance can go into HFT? and for trading positions, usually does it require more mathematical intuition than accumulative financial knowledge?

  41. Great concerns about MFE degree

    Hi all, I am right now applying for some MFE programs. The more I understand the program, the more uncertain I feel about the program. In the past, I feel financial engineering is essential in increasing market efficiency through the developments and implementation of different financial...

  42. Program competitiveness ranking

  45. Does Phi Beta Kappa matter in MFE application?

    Thank you Dr. Stefan, it is really great to hear from you. Baruch MFE program is one of my top choices. But my weakness is I dun have any WE related to Quants.
