  1. Baruch's pre MFE program for non-US resident?

    Thanks for sharing. I've have noticed one comment from the post saying some MFE programs do not accept LOR from TA. Is that true? It's been more than 4 years since I graduated from college. I hardly doubt I can get a strong LOR from my former professors. That's one of the main reasons why I...

    Thanks RajanS. Any recommendations on the advanced courses?
  5. Baruch's pre MFE program for non-US resident?

    Yes I've enrolled in the C++ online course. I thought about self-study on the math subjects like what you suggested, either from the books or MOOCs. But IMO it's not convincing to the admission committees without an actual certificate showing on my resume. I'm planning to reapply some top MFEs...

  19. Anyone heard of Master of Applied Analytics from Columbia U?

    But dont those wall street financial institutions prefer the TAG more than anything when it comes to recruit (or screening for potential candidates)? It would be the biggest bet I ever made if I accept the offer and you were right I might not be able to pay back the money anytime soon. At the...

  29. Should I retake GRE?

    I was shocked and pissed when I saw my quant score after the test. Q: 160 V:152 A: 3.5 While I was preparing the test, I always got at least 165 in quant on Manhattan practice tests and got 167/169 on the ETS powerprep. I still cannot believe how and why I got only 160 in the real test. Given...
