My undegrad school in Canada has the class average on the transcript, so your grade is put into context which I think really helps. Also, when applying, scan the back of your transcript where it explains how the grading works. You won't be the first to apply, and won't be the last. The schools...

Well yes, they are, but you can apply to take them if there is any room available once the semester starts.

Math G4151, Analysis and Probability 1 is the exact same class at the same time and with the same professor. I'd probably just register for that instead since you're in the math department already.

I am an alumnus of APAM at Columbia. You definitely have access to lots of math finance and quant courses as you can take classes in the IEOR department (restrictions do apply) and you can generally take almost all of the MAFN courses in the math department too. I can't speak to career prospects...

@ElephantParks because the MAFN is not in the engineering faculty: http://gsas.columbia.edu/content/tuition-fees#mafn

I can't comment on the faculty as a whole, but I am a student in another engineering department, and you are only allowed to take one IEOR class per semester, and only two in your academic career at Columbia. That's where the Implied Volatility class is. This is where you will want to fill out...

One of my best friends is a level 3 CFA candidate who works in trading. The CFA at this point in his career- 2 years out of undergraduate will do nothing for him.

There are lots of ways to prove yourself even with a bad grade. If I were you I would take Calc 3 and see how you do. From my personal experience, I had A- in Calc I, did terrible in Calc II and got a C, but then in Calc III I had an A- and finished off Calc IV with an A+. It took a lot of hard...

But how does accepting more domestic students do anything? The placement stats would increase, but only because people could legally work much easier. These are only averages. The work experience would maybe lead to higher salaries, but also consider that sometimes with an MBA you are just...

I worked on a J-1 visa last summer in Washington, DC. However, I am Canadian and definitely looked into what I was getting into. I was not paid at my internship, and did not expect to. Everything was completely normal for me, except that by having a J-1, I am under the impression that I...

Hi, I know there are a lot of similar posts, but I was looking for some advice. I am an undergradute student going into my fourth year next year and needed some help in filling out my schedule with hopes of starting an MFE degree in the fall of 2011. By the end of this year I will have completed...
