Oh, my god! I have realized that my English is so terrible!!! Actually what I wanted to say is that "Chinese students were given the same opportunities, but they still didn't do very well." So there might be some problems with the students. It is because I had no specific evidence that they...

For the last two days, I have contacted some current MFE students and got some information, so I would like to share it with people here. Hope it may help. Although the CMU director claimed in an andio interview put on their website recently that up till now 80% of their students have secured...

@ Alain & MikeK Thank you very much. I can fully understand how annoying this kind of posts are. Yet as an undergraduate in China with no w/e, it's really hard for me to get a vivid vision in my mind about the job market. I want hear what the people in this industry and on the street say so...

I know there are too many of this kind of posts, still I want to hear your opinions. This would be an important decision for me. Surely the reputation of the CMU program is great, but the Ivy name of Cornell is still an attraction. If I am returning to Asia, I believe the Ivy name can help...

It's really a hard decision to make. I think this is the kind of thing you want to hear: I like the curriculum offered by CMU, but I also like the location of NYU. Under the current market condition I would prefer NYU a tiny little bit more. The question is difficult because we are trying to...

Lolasff, Congratulations !!! Princeton is my dream, but I was rejected. I am heading for CMU now.

But the 29 months are for students in STEM majors. the OPT for other majors have been shortened to 3 months. Does FE count as a STEM major?

I have received the decision letter yesterday, Mar 28. I see on the letter head that it was printed on Feb 18! I know that an ordinary mail from NY to Beijing should take 2~3 weeks, so god knows what happened. During the period, I have emailed and telephoned their admission office several times...

I do agree that NYU is very strong! I think NYU and CMU are otherwise all equivalent, except that NYU has excellent location. Though CMU has NY campus, I intensely dislike remote teaching. I have finally decided to go to CMU though. The major reason is that the 1.5 yr duration allows an intern...

I want to update some information. I see on the forum of Global Derivatives that someone has quoted my #5 post in this thread about the placement at U Chicago this year. The information provided in the #5 post is a faithful report about my phone call to U Chicago's amission office, yet after...

Thank you very much luso. If location is important, then isn't it that Columbia > U Chicago > CMU? But I have heard several people say that Columbia's master program is not good. Andy also said something about it. (See previous post in this thread) When thinking about the bad market...

Thank you bobby. I do get very useful information about Chicago's program from your post. I agree with all you have said. Indeed your skills and abilities are what employers pay you for. Yet in my case, I am an undergraduate international student with no prior working experience (apart from...

I did have received the survey on the Singapore program. But still what do you know about the quality, reputation, placement and anything else about the current Chicago program? If you can provide information on other programs, I will be as grateful.

But still CMU's career service is stronger?

Well, I am very glad to share the information. From whom I talked to at U Chicago (someone in the admission office), their last year's placement rate was near 100%. And according to her words, this year's placement seems even better than last year. Most job offers are within US (this is what...

Thank you very much for your advice, Andy. I will call U Chicago :) I know that MSCF@CMU has very good reputation in the street. Yet many other factors makes me feel that it's not perfect. I know there's no reason to ask for perfectness at any time, but I think you can understand this because...

Which program should I choose? I am an international student. I have got admission from MSCF@CMU, MSFM@U Chicago, MFE@U Mich, and potentially from MFE@Columbia Can any one give some comments and perspectives on these programs? Especially regarding job opportunities for international students...
