I'm posting this thread as a response to continuous discussion of acceptance rates for MFE programs. I'm probably not the only one to think this, but don't you all agree that a certain number of applicants that apply to FE/Finance programs don't even stand a chance in the first place? For example, you could have 700 applicants apply to NYU, but you're bound to know that about 250 - 300 applicants aren't even close to expectations for admission. Thus, if we examine the "real" pool of applicants, with 25 - 35 students being admitted, the "actual acceptance rate" should be higher. As the profession grows in popularity, so do "non-sense applications."
