@paintvintage,

Sounds like a good plan, as the 1.5 year plan is what I am going to do also. Let us know when you will be arriving to NY and maybe we can meet up along with the others.

@Biswas Garg,
It's up to you, you can make it into 2 semesters, or 3 semesters.

not good. the interviewer just mindlessly asked me one question and then over.

Hi, Forza! I am Fan, just got accepted into the MSOR program and will most likely go there.
I got my bachelor's degree in agricultural economics in China, and master's degree in sociology at Purdue in US. This time, so far, I have also got into two other master's programs: statistics at Columbia, and survey methodology at Maryland.
To be honest, I know little about the program or the industry, but I just want to find a job in finance or consulting.
Guess we can share more.

Hi Fan,

Interesting background you got. I sent you a PM to discuss with you more.

Let me know when you guys receive the official packet from Columbia please. I'm waiting, not very patiently.

For those who chose MSOR, are you interested in quant finance?
 
  • 2011  Enrolled Forza has a tracker for this program.
@onthesc,

Not yet, will let you know once I get it.

@roni,

Not a pure quant, I am shooting for asset management or S/T. I just like how the MSOR program fits with my background. If I am correct, you will be going to Cornell?

@Forza
Well, I got into Cornell, Baruch and Columbia, but most likely I'll choose Baruch. I just don't like Cornell's curriculum. I don't think it will prepare me for the quant field, on the other hand, I think Baruch will.

Good luck!

@roni,

Congrats on all three of your admits! I have not done a lot of research into their curriculum, but it seems like Baruch does the best job in preparing you for quant roles. Their placement rates are simply phenomenal and you can't go wrong with it in NYC.

Best of luck to you, and maybe I'll meet you in the future in one of the meet ups.

Agree, it's always good to keep it friendly. The field of finance is relatively small, and you never know who you might need a favor from one day. Plus, we are all here to help each other out. ;)

onthesc, I also had the chance today to come up with a list of courses I plan on taking at MSOR. I am pretty excited, lots of great courses. Let me know when you are ready to chat on that.
