This announcement should settle the debate on the subject.
 
The school has been less than forthcoming on any verifiable employment stats and the placement cell is non existent! I know many grads who couldn't land up jobs 4 months after graduation from NYU Poly and working as IT consultants.

Maybe you should back up your claims of 100% employment with facts than being a paid shill !
 
Further criticism of the NYU Poly program, it's like a MS finance degree masquerading as an MFE. 3 out of 5 core courses are MBAesque.

I heard from a source 100% of the class could find full employment upon graduation! Your "source" against mine.

IMPOSSIBLE!!

Poly MFE has the largest class size! Many many students cannot land a job after graduation.

Believe or not, there are no more than 5 programs that maintain 100% placement rate in the US, and without any doubt, those are Princeton, Berkeley, Columbia MFE, Baruch, and CMU(sometimes not 100%)
