I can actually back people turning down the ucla offer with some facts than the usual "hear-say route". I know 1-2 people personally who got admitted but decided not to even pay the confirmation fee.

Hi Muting, Many happy returns of the day ! Best wishes

Excellent article...Everbody seems to appreciate the transparency of Baruch...

Happy Birthday Alain !!!!

Great to have such objective "Insider information".

Hi, I have an opinion on this matter.But I speak as an international student and and I don't really know how it goes on in US, so my opinion might be completely skewed. The Universities mentioned by the panel are all highly regarded and very well known in India. As you all might be aware that...

Hi lke, I guess quantnet serves its purpose (Andy must be a happy man) when such posts are there for everyone to be read. From the brief description that you have given about yourself, I already feel you are an achiever (and I feel like a nondescript :) ). I guess quantnet is a great plaform...

"Pimp" is such a strong word :) DC, you should take umbrage at such a word!

Hi Guys, For those who want to access Databases without buying SAS Acess/Connect, given below is solution that can be used: Using shell script you can connect to the DB and get the data you require using isql command...and then the result can be piped to a simple SAS code which uses...

Hi Brent, Very pleased to meet you. Hope we can also meet in person. I do not know how it is in US but atleast in India knowing SAS is a prized possession. Many companies are willing to hire you if you just know SAS. I know for a fact that all risk modelling in Barra is done in SAS. Plus the...

Hi, I work for a firm that almost exclusively uses SAS. There are few applications on C++, but all computational parts are done in SAS. The underlying reason is quite simple-we have humongous data and SAS alone can handle that.

Prof Dan, it is a great quote.. will be etched in my memory.

Hi , This is what I did. I showed liquid assets (i.e cash funds) of around 60KUSD. In addition to this ,I sent an affidavit of support from my parents and also my father's annual income on a letter head.

Happy B'day Nalin! Yeah but we did defeat World No 1 Australia in One day Series down under.That counts for something! And with the series with South Africa starting tomorrow you never know :) Australia and South Africa routed...hmm not bad!

Happy Birthday Andy =D>=D>=D> (Thanks for all your responses to my PMs)

I found some information on Michigan's placements after a bit of search: Engineering Career Resource Center: Michigan Engineering Salaries

I found some information on Michigan's placements after a bit of search: Engineering Career Resource Center: Michigan Engineering Salaries

A very interesting response on placements from a supposedly top school: There is this friend of mine who got admitted to a top school which incidentally does not make it's placement stats public.He asked them about the stats and the Co-ordinator replied that you would get to know about it when...

They have given a snapshot ot the salaries: " The average first year starting salary of our June 2007 graduates was $140,000. These numbers include only salary and guaranteed bonus. In addition, most people receive an additional bonus which is determined based on their performance and that of...

Hi, I thinh I'll show aroung 60K USD.

1) Well the employment stats looks great. But perhaps with such highs and lows (which in my opinion can qualify as outliers) a median salary figure could also have been provided.Also,I wish the internship stats can be more comprehensive like stating the stipends etc. 2) Any particular reason...

Contrast the Oxford thing with the Indian system (like Cuba).For entrance to any school..be it for engineering or medicine..there are exams which are held once a year.For Indian Institutes of Technology or the Indian Institutes of Management ,approx 2.5 lac students appear for 2000 odd seats.If...

Well, I have been admitted for Fall 2008. My story is not as intriguing as some of the stories below but I'll share it nonetheless.So as the trend is I got a mail from Prof. Dan stating that he liked my profile and wanted to discuss my application with me( Prof Dan aptly refrained from using the...

Hi Pawan, I applied arount end of Nov. And I came to know about my decision around last week of Jan. Regards Sachin

Thanks Anshul, Just one doubt though...where does the internship fit into the scheme of things?

Course Structure Hi, Can someone provide me with the rough schedule for the session starting Fall-2008 in terms of the semester start and end months (like 1st Sem Aug-Dec etc) and the internship schedule. Thanks Sach

Thanks Andy. Yes the site says that I need to document 57,800USD but the I-20 Form says I need to document 30KUSD and considering the tuition fees is 18kUSD, I am not really sure if I'll be indeed needing 58K. So you suggest I document 58k .Will there be a problem if I document in the vcinity of...

Hi, I received the form for I-20 request.Well it says that one has to show 30KUSD and project for next year.Since, MFE is around a 1 year programme , I am not really sure what I need to project.So can someone clarify what is the maximum amount I should show to be safe. Thanks Sach

Thanks everyone for your wishes.Looking forward to meeting all of you in person.

Hi, 1) I am not very clear on the Summer refresher course bit.As I understood from Prof Dan, international students may not be able to attend it due to some visa constrictions.In lieu of this, I'd like to know as to when the international students usually arrive for the commencement of the...

Hi Everyone, Feb 1 turned out to be very special for me. Well Jan 1 would have been an ideal day for the events but better late than never. It started late in the night ...10PM India Standard time to be precise.Prof Dan called me and told me that I was admitted to Baruch's MFE(Fall 2008)...
