    2011-2012 Quantnet Ranking of Financial Engineering (MFE) Programs

    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.

    Baruch MFE Baruch MFE - Fall 2011 Admission Statistics

    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?

    why MFE applicants are inclined towards GRE and not towards GMAT ?

    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.

    Columbia MFE Phone call from Columbia MFE admissions ?

    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.

    certificate programs in C++ in NYC

    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...
