Admissions statistics

[cunyuva]

Hi, I am considering applying for FE at CUNY, and I was looking at the job placement statistics. From what I understand, CUNY is an evening program, so most students already have jobs, while they are at school. How does one interpret these statistics? What is the placement rate and compensation for students who are not currently employed at financial institutions.

Thanks for your comments. I am a non-traditional student (went back to school after many years) at UVA, with a major in computer science. I will be graduating in May 2008, and planning to apply for MFE at CUNY for 2008. Do you have any events for potential 2008 applicants? Is there any mailing list, I can sign up and find out when and where these events are?

The only college in CUNY system with an MFE program is Baruch so you don't have to confused yourself with the huge CUNY system. Just say Baruch MFE and everyone knows

• Deadline for 2008 is April 30, 2008 and most people apply several months prior to the deadline.
• Events:
  Open house: usually monthly. There is one next month http://events.embark.com/event/baruch/weissman/
  Online chat: they have monthly online chat with Prof. Stefanica - Director of the program. The next one probably will be in Sept or Oct. The transcript of past online chats is available at Chat with Director of Baruch MFE program - QuantNetwork - Financial Engineering Forum
  Mailing list: No such feature on the current website but hopefully they will add that in future website. Email/call them if you think it's useful
  Baruch Wiki: Baruch - Quantnet Wiki
  Baruch MFE FAQ: Baruch FAQ - Quantnet Wiki

Between the info from the chat transcript, on this forum and on the FAQ, I believe we cover almost everything.
