GaTech QCF Georgia Tech QCF Info

[Caesar]

Hey Quantnet community. I ran across a small treasure trove of information and statistics regarding Georgia Tech's QCF Program for those that are interested. Hope this helps to answer a few questions.

Great stuff. I actually ran across it a few months ago while googling for some info. I just wish it is more current and other programs have similar report. Maybe they do but are not public.
After all, every program has to self-evaluate and report the university.

Their acceptance rate is much lower than I would have guessed seeing the tracker.

To be fair, the tracker represents a very self-selected group of applicants given the collective >50% acceptance rate. Just look at the graph for Chicago MSMF on top right of the Tracker for example. Quantnet members are more likely to get admitted into any given program than the applicant pool at large.

what at about the qcf assistantships? i see in the pdf file that 30% of the students get an assistantship. Is that real that those who get admitted for the qcf program has a good chance of getting an assistantship.

I thought it's a typo but no, it's actually a program that I have never heard of before. So thanks for bringing it up.
