Toronto MathFin MMF U of Toronto 2013 application

[Cam Connor]

I definitely would not call all the questions easy.
Some of the questions had concepts that I did not learn until my third or fourth year of college

 

[chaohan]

No problem. I reported to them the problem with Internet Explorer, and I am sure we are not the only ones who experienced it, so they are aware and understand it is the failure on their part.
Are you based in Toronto? Did you get an invite for an interview?

I'm an international student currently study in Newfoundland.

I just finished my Skype interview... According to the officer-Shari , this process will last for several weeks.

I shouldn't have used the word easy, I meant to say fair for any undegraduate student to know by 4th year, since the concepts tested included calculus, ode, linear algebra, basic understanding of pde and group theory. Universities courses vary in content and levels to which a course is associated with , so when I said 1st and 2nd year I refered to UofT courses. I did not mean to offend anybody, sorry about that.

Good to know, I hope you will know the results sooner than a few weeks! how was the interview overall?

 

[FadiB]

I hope the exam is different for everybody as it is easily downloaded and sent to anybody of interest.
I know students in my school who have done just that.

 

[Cam Connor]

Yeah during my interview today, my interviewer informed me that today was the first day of Skype interviews, so I'm sure that many more invites will be sent as time progresses.

If anyone knows current students at UT, do you have any idea how interview times are correlated with offers? I got the assessment on the first day but still no interview, while some people got interviews before the assessment or before doing the assessment. I'm confused because Petra said that all successful applicants must do both so why did I only get one? I didn't think I did so badly to ruin my chances at an interview, plus some people haven't even done it. If anyone has more info on this it would be much appreciated!

It was just a routine interview. Question like why you choosing this program and what is your strength will be asked. And few general concept will be asked related to math finance, like what is Brownian motion.

Good luck with your interview!

Thanks Chaohan! Let us know when you hear the decision.

My interview is a group interview and should last 2 hours ( the email states it) so probably it will be a bit more questions. Will review Brownian motion def anyway

I finished the test last weekend and got the interview announcement last Wed. No worry, they said you will get both test and interview anyway. Is there anyone who has finished the interview in Toronto?

Hi, I have an interview on Friday. I am not from a math background. Not sure how to prepare for it. Anybody who had the interviews today?

what time is your interview??

 

[Ecthilis]

For people who had the interview, was there an assessment again during the interview? How was the difficulty of the technical questions on the interview compare to the assessment? Thanks a bunch

 

[Evan Situ]

From previous experience it should not be another assessment during the interview
However, it will have some tech questions

 

[gavchik]

I think tech questions depend on the professor that interviews you. There will be no extra assessment during the interview, mostly HR and tech questions. See previous years posts for details, it was really helpful!
