Admits: UChicago FinMath (60% scholarship), NYU MathFin, UCLA MFE ($10k scholarship), UC Berkeley Stats
Rejects: Cornell MFE, CMU MSCF
Pending: Columbia DS
Joining: Leaning towards UChicago not only due to the scholarship but also the school's reputation in industry and the robust program. Also, I want to work at prop shop/quant trading firms with high/mid frequency. There are many opportunities in Chicago and I am flexible to travel to New York for super days and other face-2-face interviews.

Happy to hear any comments. Thanks!

Thank you so much! Do you think those courses are helpful?

Extremely helpful for a couple of reasons. I primarily needed them to fulfill pre-reqs for the program. However, they also give you a good idea of what information is likely to be tested on the QBA and in the admission interviews. Furthermore, the professors from the program can provide letters of recommendation.

Don't know if your message asked for my background (since you replied to me) or Kevin's but here is my background anyway :
French Grande Ecole + MSc Operations Research at top 10 UK. 3.9 GPA, GRE 168Q 154V and machine learning internship amongst others. Hope it helps!
 
hey bro, may you share that why you choose Uchicago but not NYU Courant?
