    How to choose Oxford MCF, Chicago MSFM, Columbia MFE and Cornell MFE

    @tonylich Basically, Chicago has worse feedbacks among these programs. They admit about 70-100 students per year. So, I suggest you make your choice between Columbia (if you can get in) and Oxford. You need to compare the course structures since these two programs focus on some diffrent stuffs...

    The eternal multiple offers struggle

    Among these three, I guess Imperial should be the better. Have you tried Oxford's MCF program? Since you have an Oxford degree already, it might be easier for you to get in Oxford's program. But this is just my personal guess.

    Admitted by Oxford MCF

    Just received admit today. Still waiting for two U.S. schools, NYU and Chicago. Probably, I will not take Chicago into account since feedbacks say Chicago's program is not that good. But how about NYU? I believe it will be a hard decision between NYU and Oxford, if I could finally receive...

    Got admitted by LSE MSc Financial Mathematics, any advice??

    @ekta I just got an email from Oxford. An interview has been arranged next week. A little bit nervous about it. Do you have any idea what kind of questions they will ask? How technical will it be?

    Got admitted by LSE MSc Financial Mathematics, any advice??

    @ekta The reason is that I feel Imperial's course is too mathematical and computational to me. Compared with Imperial's course, I like the LSE's course more since it's more mixed up and is structured with collaboration by LSE's 3 departments(mathematics, finance and statistics). Regarding...

    Got admitted by LSE MSc Financial Mathematics, any advice??

    @ekta I don't know. You could try to contact them. Are you facing the response deadline for Imperial? I haven't recived the formal offer pack in mail from LSE. I guess it's still on the way and they give me 6 weeks to submit the response.

    Thanks, Timmi Actually, LSE is the first school that sent me an admission. I also applied for Oxford in UK and Stanford, New York and Chicago in U.S. But no results received from these schools so far.

    Got admitted by LSE MSc Financial Mathematics, any advice??

    Just got an admission from them. Is LSE a good try? Anybody knows about this program? Could anyone give me some advice or comments about this program? I have had a PhD in engineering and now seeking a switch to financial industry. I'm wondering if LSE's MS in Financial Math will help me to...
