  1. Columbia MFE 2012 Columbia MFE admission thread

    Looks like it's going to be another stacked class. I have no doubt this year's class will beat last year's record in size. They really need to cut down on admissions at Columbia.

    Just wanted to let you know that I ended up choosing Columbia over Stanford. After attending Open House, I felt that the amount of industry contact at Columbia was too valuable to pass off.

  3. Anyone heading to Columbia Open House?

    I think McGruber pretty much sums up the main points discussed during Open House. Some additional points: - Prof. Kachani is a very charismatic professor. It was a blast listening to him answer some of the more poignant questions :) (We were unable to get through most of the slides because of...

    I actually asked for an extension so I can visit Columbia's Open House next week. It's going to be a tough choice. My heart wants to go to Stanford, but I think I will have better job prospects at Columbia simply because it is in NYC. What do you think? Also, which universities have you turned...

  7. Anyone heading to Columbia Open House?

    I was wondering if any of you were planning on attending the open house on April 7th. I will be heading down there from April 4-8 to check out NY and look at housing situation. I still have to make up my mind between Stanford and Columbia and I'm hoping that this visit will help me better decide...

    Hey Andy, is there's a reason why you don't have a dedicated forum for Stanford MSFM? I know it's a bit late considering the decisions are already out, but I was wondering why the omission?

  18. COMPARE Columbia MFE vs. Stanford MSFM

    For anyone interested, I found some information about placement at Stanford. Although it was 2008, I think it gives somewhat an idea of what you can expect. http://www.global-derivatives.com/forum/index.php?topic=5100.0

  19. Columbia MFE Phone call from Columbia MFE admissions ?

    What is that supposed to mean? I'm confused. Unfortunately, it's pretty much project crunch time where I work so I doubt I will have any sort of time to visit the campuses, let alone even one. However, I did plan on talking to the faculty before making a decision. On a side note, I doubt that...

    I am still deciding. Everyday I go back and forth between the two. Trying to read up as much as I can about the programs and see what will suit me best considering my background and career goals. But today, I'm leaning towards Columbia. Ask again tomorrow and it may not be so. :)

    Hey Andy, Thanks for the great info. You are right in that the school brand will only get you so far and the rest will be up to you and your past work experience. However, the trick is still to get your foot in :) I have tried looking up the placements for these two programs, but it is hard to...

  23. COMPARE Columbia MFE vs. Stanford MSFM

    Thanks Roni! I see you still have your application to Columbia pending. Best of luck! On a side note, can anyone else give their thoughts on what the differences may be between these two programs? Is Stanford considered to be more theoretical resulting in a Quant job? Is Columbia's MFE program...

  24. COMPARE Columbia MFE vs. Stanford MSFM

    I recently got accepted to both Columbia MFE and Stanford MSFM program, but I feel I need some advice on deciding which one I should accept.

    If I remember correctly, I don't think this program offers any financial aid. So I doubt it would have any influence on their decision.
