Thanks Andy!

Where do I learn SQL.. Will a strong know how in C/C++ help or can I start fresh?

There could be just 2 programs on the ranking...Baruch and Berkeley....The way the discussion is going the other 20 schools dont make any difference..

Great Ranking from the Quantnet Group...Any reason for restricting the ranking to 22 schools?? I am sure there will be many more universities offering these degrees!

I guess the 800 should be a good start...anything above that is great!!!Learning and remembering them all is tough:)!!

Nice one...Probably only a few like these exist..

Is there anything like an ultimate quant??? I guess its a learning process all along...I guess an open mind and confidence are important though!!

I think its mostly best of the 2 scores..So definitely the second one!

Does the rule apply to students too. Finding a guarantor in the US also will be difficult!!

Ill be studying in brooklyn. However the cost of staying there is a little on the higher side!

which part of NYC is good for accommodation. I consider Safety and ease of conveyance a priority..

Surprising..NYC is said to be one of the best cities in the world!!! You might be referring to the flip side of this coin:)!

Ill be moving to NYC next month from India...Will be great to hear about the city from others.. Specifically Do's and Dont's!!!

Sounds Great!!! I will be joining poly this fall so its positive info..Thanks

Well I wanted to know the current perception of Poly in the Finance Industry. The university does not reveal much in terms of placements or internships.

How has poly turned out be since then? they have certainly not disclosed much..

SpeedballSix: Wow..are you from the first batch of the MSFE program?

I created a doc for FE students..but only found a few among the 400 students.

I am attending the FE program this Fall...The University's 2011 fall graduate group has over 400 members... However in the MSFE doc I created I found only 16 students. I had a similar question about the huge batch size but this left me a bit confused..

So is there any laptop tailor made for an MFE program or its more about the software you install?

Dell Inspiron 17R 2nd gen or Dell XPS 15. Will customize if required.

how about dell laptops?

Whats a good place to start with basic programming. My programming is very rickety..Guess I should start from the basics:)

Quantnet was the first thing that came up when I googled- Ranking of Financial Engineering programs.

Two websites I was suggested to do research were 1)http://www.uniguru.com/studyabroad/homepage.html 2)http://www.msinus.com/ 3)http://www.edulix.com/forum/ Might be a bit specific to Indian students!

LG Optimus one....android!:)

NYU poly MSFE is said to be the largest FE course in terms of no. of students. Then how come no review here on quantnet? Poly seniors???

Also surprising that California is above Chicago!!

Interesting! Great work DominiConnor. I am wondering if these statistics will apply to a fresh MFE grad.Looks like people with a few years work experience might draw such salaries.

this guy is thinking of an MFE after such an experience on a daily basis!! Was wondering- How much time will it take a fresh MFE grad to do the kind of work he is doing!!!

thanks guys!!

I will be starting my MS FE this Fall. Was wondering how a level 1/2 CFA will help me when I graduate. Does it add value to my degree or affect my career placement?

I think its time to STOP this discussion as rightly suggested by menovive and Anthony! STOP!

Rishab it would be better to check with moneycontrol.com. Why the hate against all tings Indian?

I think an Admission Adviser will be better than an agent. Their job is to help students secure admission purely on the basis of their profile. This is unlike agents who guarantee admission to XYZ University, generally with vested interests. Finally I think the student's research will be of...

Is everyone finding it hard to get info on NYU Poly's MSFE?

Same here..anything on NYU Poly will help..

He he..Sorry Andy...You visited NYU FRE recently right..Saw the pictures

Looks like NYU Poly is supported by its location...other details about NYU poly are sketchy.. Also heard that FRE Dept. has a lot of students?

Anuj, did you decide...I got an admit from NYU poly a few days ago..

Andy I cannot tell you how much this will help me. With not much programming experience it will be a great value addition. Cheers!!

not yet...still deciding.

Even I was finding it difficult to get more info on NYU poly. Anuj can you share placement statistics of NYU Poly.

Attending Claremont full time.

Hi An off question but wanted to ask about quant/finance jobs in California? Do many students end up in NY even after studying in Cali.
