If you feel your application could use some boosting the GRE could help supplement, however only submit a good one. If you feel like its already strong, don’t bother wasting your time taking it.Is the GRE an important component? Do we need to score full marks? Thought this became optional…
It definitely depends on your profile. I didn’t submit GRE and was accepted to MAFN. That said I majored in math and had As in all relevant classes.So it’s technically not optional lol…
From my understanding, some experience (including internships) is almost a quasi-requirement for most programs. I'm sure there are exceptions for exceptional candidates but I think at least one semi-relevant internship is probably a minimum requirement.Maybe do they take in more grads with FTE for mfe? Or grads with internship experience..
Thanks! What do you think about internships vs GRE vs research?

From their FAQs:
Is work experience required?
While not required, we do recommend that prospective students have some professional experience, either in the form of a full time position or an internship.
Not specific to this program but from what I know from info sessions and chats with admissions officers is that internships and research are all subjective. They usually like to say they take a holistic approach.Thanks! What do you think about internships vs GRE vs research? Is there an order in which the committee prefers
That’s true… hope we get to hear something this weekNot specific to this program but from what I know from info sessions and chats with admissions officers is that internships and research are all subjective. They usually like to say they take a holistic approach.
A published math paper in a major journal is probably worth more than one year of experience at a no-name wealth management firm and 8 weeks at an HFT is probably worth more than a year long business thesis.
GRE is pretty safe to say that its not a leading component anywhere, probably used more as a filter or tiebreaker.
Until April end, right? @strattbNope, at least I called admissions some time ago and they said they will be sending decisions until April as well.
YupUntil April end, right? @strattb
