Baruch MFE Baruch MFE Admission Discussion

[rajanS]

hey guys. I learned I got accepted this morning ](around 8ish in Baruch MFE program by the program Director). gosh, the entire interview was really stressful. At least for me. I am so excited to be part of the Baruch MFE program. I tried to nap (after studying all night thinking the interview was going to be very technical). Now, i cant even sleep. I feel like i am in cloud 9. I can't feel my feet anymore. 1 year of hard studying paid off. The journey begins...

Hi,

I just received an phone interview invitation from Baruch. The interview will be on Feb. 3, given by Professor Rados Radoicic. (already updated on tracker.)

Any one here have any tip? Prof Radoicic is said as "a freaking math genius" on ratemyprofessors.com, so I probably should expect most questions to be mathematical? and difficult?

I bought two quant interview books two weeks ago, "heard on the wall street" and "frequently asked question in quant finance", not sure if they would help.. I haven't had time to read it though..

thanks!

radosr posted a lot of interesting questions under the Quant Interview section. May check those out to see the kind of stuff he is into. Good luck.

 

[JIKUN]

That's great! Thanks Andy!

Hi ,
Do you have any feedback regarding sound/signal quality of the phone interview? Should I use the landline or mobile phone line to have a better sound quality for a call from US to Singapore? I do not have a landline at home but if it is required, I can use the landline in the office. The interview is scheduled at 11:10 pm my local time.

Yesterday, I had a nice 15-min phone interview with Pro Stefanica. Since I'm a mathematics and finance background student, Dan firstly cared about my programming skills. Then came some advanced derivatives questions, including interest rate swap, futures etc. At last, I shared my career goals and strong interests on Baruch MFE with Dan. The only thing disappointed me was that the fruit juicer in the cafe kept working during the talk...

No matter what the final result will be, I feel grateful and delighted these days applying for my dream Baruch MFE program. Thanks Pro. Stefanica, Pro. Wang, Miriam, Cathy, Ms Zhou, etc. for your time and help. dstefan Baruch.MFE

I applied to Baruch MFE 10/11 days back.

On 25th, I got an email from Cathy Levkulic saying my app is complete and it is being forwarded to the concerned dept.

However, I am not being able to viw the status of my app. in the Baruch MFE website. It is saying that the email address I provided does not exist.

Any idea why this is happening?

 

[dstefan]

Send an email to baruch.mfe@baruch.cuny.edu about this. You should be able to see your application status online shortly.
