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)?

We are still accepting applications. I'm looking into the GRE waiver. Please go ahead and submit your application without the GRE scores and then send me a private message here with your name so I can keep an eye out for your application.

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.

Received it on 23 Feb. Thanks!

@CourantMathFinance, You are still accepting applications for Math Finance and also, Dual degrees with MBA. As I see application portal is open. Please do let me know. Please do a needful help. I had to finish a few preprogram courses and also, cant submit a few documents once the application is rolled out. I have emailed to mathfinapp@cims.nyu.edu for further details. Thank you.

Hi all,
I recently accepted my offer to NYU Courant and was wondering if there are any group chats for the admits. Please drop me a DM if anyone knows of any groups/ wants to start a group. Cheers!

@CourantMathFinance Hi, have been hearing people saying that the program gives a high workload and difficult assignments, and students tend to have lower GPAs compared to other programs. Would this post students at a disadvantage during recruiting?

We are known for being a more rigorous and challenging program, so potential employers will take this into account. Also, they will look at your full resume and also assess your suitability for a position through the interviews. Their interest in you will not be determined by only your GPA.

@CourantMathFinance Hi. Since offers have been given out about 2-3 rounds in the last 2 weeks, I'm wondering if there are more offers coming in the following days or week? Or only rejections left later on?

 

[CourantMathFinance]

We have indeed made most of our decisions, but we are not completely finished.

Around how many offers would you possibly send out later?

That's hard for me to say.

 

[Frank Chen]

That's hard for me to say.

Do you think it's still two digits of offers that will be sent out?

Hello, I would like to ask a few questions regarding the Courant MSMF program.

(1) How have students without prior work experience fared through the employment process
during the summer internship and after graduation? Do they normally have disadvantages in
securing employment or have they performed at a comparable level to peers with experience?
If possible, I would also like to see a detailed placement record for the past students (especially in the recent years of 2023, 2022, 2021).

(2) What is the distribution of the job positions graduate students have gone on to pursue in terms of percentages?

(3) What were typical career outlooks for students who are interested in applying AI and Data Science to asset/portfolio management?
Do they normally begin their career at major investment banks or is it more common to directly go to roles in prop trading shops, private equity,
asset management firms, or hedge funds regardless of AUM?

Thank you very much for your kind reply in advance.

@CourantMathFinance Hi, I heard that the class size of this program will be decreased, is this true? If it’s true, how much would that be? And are there still offers being sent out?

After I enrolled in the program, I received an email from the program director about some details of the program. He did mention that they are reducing the class size this year but didn't mention by how much.

 

[CourantMathFinance]

Yes, I can confirm that we admitted fewer students this year and are expecting a smaller class size in the fall.

What is the class size these days?

@CourantMathFinance Through your message on quantnet in 2021, I guess, from now on, will you be admitting more applicants only if applicants, who have already been admitted, decline their offer?

@CourantMathFinance
I am curious about the expected timeline for Part Time applications.
It's been a month since I applied and I haven't received back any information yet.
