Hi everybody. I applied to these programs (they are all PhDs). Of course, I am interested in Financial Engineering.

I would be really grateful to someone that has valuable information about those programs if she would share it here. Pros and cons of each of them (career, location, faculty, curriculum, others..).

Is there anybody that applied to those programs?

Thank you so much ;)

Princeton ORFE is designed for operations research. Best if you want to do a PhD (assuming you applied for a research degree) or if you want to work for Union Pacific, Trans Canada, or BP.

Columbia and Cornell are both excellent programs- when I was a summer intern, my roommate was an FE master's from Cornell who was interning in IPOs for a major investment bank.
