COMPARE NYU Courant MathFin and Columbia MAFN
- Thread starter jsim
- Start date
Columbia MAFN doesn't know anything about its students' placement info. No one talks to the director, so they feel no obligation to tell him. Last year was tough for the class of 2015 but previous years, most students got market risk jobs and the top kids got strats jobs at investment banks.
Thanks for the info! Do you know anything about NYU MathFin?

NYU Math Finance out of Courant is one of the original programs that started this trend in the US. It's very well known and has had an outstanding reputation.
Columbia MAFN is like three rungs below out of the Columbia programs (I lost count how many are out there).

come to US and make the most out of it.
MFE>MAFN>OR>Stats
Not sure where MSFE fits in, probably at the MAFN level (slightly higher or lower who knows). But mafn is not as bad as you think. most of us end up with 80-90k jobs, altho it's not easy, nor at the top investment banks. in the end with a program like mafn where there is zero career support from the program, you will be fine if you have the talent. you'll get the interviews
