I did not find it either. How do you check the status?

They sent me a mail asking me to check the "offer" tab. Possibly they will give out results in batches just like interview invites.

I would be curious to know which one you choose out of CMU, Columbia, NYU and maybe UCB later, and why.

I have read many threads in quantnet, comparing the top programs in one combination or the other. Also looked at WallStreetOasis. Till now, more inclined towards CMU because of the curriculum having more focus on data science, statistical applications compared to other programs (I already have worked on StoCal applications so won't give much weight on such courses and volatility being record low, vol-exotic product offering have significantly shrunk in volume) and CMU in general being very reputed in ML community (got few friends in CMU MSCS).

I also think that it's more efficient if the business school runs the career services initiatives, which is the case for CMU, UCB. No matter how much we all like to discount, I think communication, networking skills are very important (even for quant roles) in finance industry, that too when thousands of worthy candidates graduate every year.

I know that many people might choose NYU/Columbia/UCB/Baruch over CMU and don't mean to say their choice is wrong or incorrect in any way. All these programs are best at what they do. I just expressed my choice depending on my background and future goals.

Wow that's such short notice

 

[Geekynoob]

Thanks, makes sense with your experience.

Although I would not worry about vol. It's always a cycle and even rates vol might pickup.
