    COMPARE Baruch MFE vs NYU MathFin

    My answer to Laura. '' As far as reputation on Wall Street is concerned, most people know NYU, few people know CUNY/Baruch. This is just a fact I noticed when I came to New York, last September. Although it is highly regarded on the web, it is not the reality in New York, as of right now...

    financial engineering and algo trading

    You have the Algorithmic Trading and Quantitative Strategies course in NYU s program. http://math.nyu.edu/financial_mathematics/content/03_program/04.html MFE is probably the best way to touch on that although the quality of course may vary from one program to another. Best, Paul

    If Baruch's Placements & Statistics are as transparents as you imply, why do you need any comment on them? Are you really asking for insights, or are you just making some basic advertising?

    COMPARE NYU-Poly vs. Fordham MSQF

    @CrazyRussian, Have you considered reapplying next year. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you did not land your dream MFE program this year. Giving it another try next year, with better credentials, definitely is an option. Paul

    COMPARE NYU MSMF v/s Columbia MSFE v/s CMU MSCF (pitts)

    There are a lot of threads regarding this question. They usually compare NYU VS CMU. Columbia MSFE seems to lag a bit behind those two. (This is a personal opinion)

    CMU MSCF (Pitts or NYC?) or Cornell MFE

    You shall also ponder over whether you would relish an oportunity to stay in the US in the long term. In that case, if I were you I would go to CMU. Otherwise, I would go to Cornell which has a worlwide recognition (even in Europe where I am from), and particularly strong curriculum (I contacted...

    MSF/MFE program selection, ideas guys

    Isn't the new ranking supposed to be released next year? It would be funny to see how programs move upside down in the ranking? Maybe the Mfin of MIT is going to enter QuantNet ranking.

    Columbia MSOR or Cornell Financial Engineering

    If I had to make a choice, I would defintely go to Cornell ---> It is really a FE program and hosted by an outstanding Engineering College, and moreover with great career services. It is as known as Columbia as far as school reputaiton is concerned.

    "MFE program profile evaluation" master thread

    I do not know much about what it takes to get admission to the best programs. I think Berkeley is one of the best and is really hard to get in. To tell you the truth I did not even apply. But you should give it a try if you want to go there. Just remember that if you want to work in NYC it is...

    "MFE program profile evaluation" master thread

    You should not ask quantnet members where to apply, but ask yourself where you want to be next year. When you are admitted into a program you have chosen, you can not be disappointed since you have reached your own goals. So where do you want to go next year?
