Hello everyone,

I am currently a Senior at Manhattan College studying Finance and Economics. I am taking this class to strengthen my programming skills so that I can apply to graduate schools and pursue a Master's in Financial Engineering. I feel that QuantNet's C++ programming course will give me the best opportunity to prepare well for applying and interviewing for MFE programs.
