NYU MSMF 2023 NYU Courant Math Finance Program

Dear Faculty, until what date you are accepting applications?
Is it possible to have a GRE waive for experienced professionals (i.e. 10 years) in quantitative fields (i.e actuaries and the like)?
 
Dear Faculty, is at least one academic recommendation an essential requirement? I graduated almost ten years ago and didn't maintain any contact with my former professors
 
By when will you be sending decisions, for people who have submitted their applications? As I have received admits from other universities and their deadlines are very close by

The official letter is normally sent within a week after you received the unofficial notification. Please let me know if you have not received it.

If you have an offer from another program, please send an email to mathfinapp@cims.nyu.edu and attach the email or PDF notifying you of your admission to the other program. We will try to respond as quickly as we can.

Not if you graduated 10 years ago. But you should provide as much evidence as you can of strong math and/or CS knowledge and skills by some other means. Also, if by some chance you really did impress a professor 10 years ago, it's worth emailing them and asking them if they're willing to write you a letter. Even if you didn't stay in touch.
