If you intend on going to the MSOR program, let us know. So far, I am going for sure and onthesc might.
 
  • Janhavi has no tracker for this program.
Yup ! I will keep you posted for sure. Although, I'd like a bit more insight on the placements when compared to MSMF at BU and Rutgers. I am hearing negative things about MSOR on QuantNet.

Hey Janhavi,

This is just my perception, so don't put too much weight on it. But I think the MSOR program is getting negative light due to the fact that MSOR seems to be a step child of sort to the MSFE program. It might be true, but it doesn't matter to me since you can take a good number of the quantitative finance courses anyway (and add some other courses if you like, such as b-school courses, which you can get a list of that MSOR students are eligible for right off the bat). Can you perfectly replicate the MSFE curriculum? Absolutely not, but you can come pretty close to it if you wish. Also the program doesn't have a MSFE-type dedicated career office (thus maybe why no numbers are posted since the fields grads are going into could be drastically different). In the MSOR program, its more than just finance-centric students. But once again, that is just one man's perception.

For BU, you can contact their admin to verify the numbers on their site. Illanit (which was my sponsor during my class visit) also has a post here somewhere that talks about those numbers.

Let us know if MSOR is where you are going. Would love to get a group together before school starts to get to know each other and what not.

i cant get through :(Did you have to dial an extension number? were u met with the recorded message?
 
  • 2011  Enrolled paintvintage has a tracker for this program.
No extension number. Yeah the recorded msg plays when the line is busy. Just keep dialing. I got through on the 4th try.
 
  • Janhavi has no tracker for this program.

they disconnect when you don't dial an extension, thought, right?
I'll keep trying.
thanks anyway !

It took me about 20 minutes to get through when I called yesterday. I kept getting a busy signal, no message. When I finally got through the phone rang for an abnormally long time before someone answered. Good luck!

I only have the recorded message telling me where to email or contact the school for queries!
Then they ask for an extension number three times and if you don't, they disconnect you in 5 seconds! The phone does not ring or anything! Is this the no. you guys called on?(212)-854-2941
 
  • 2011  Enrolled MJS has a tracker for this program.
The email I received gave two numbers: (212) 854-2941 and (212) 854-2942. I tried both, but I think I ended up getting through with the second number.

Btw for the placement statistics, I sent them an email that I see all the info on the website but I was wondering if they have more detailed statistics, not just names and positions with not a single number. The answer was more or less: "Congratulations bla bla....Please check the website for this kind of stats." And this is their answer after I specifically wrote I have checked it.
