Questions from a potential student

[ukhan]

Hello Everyone,

I currently live in Washington DC metro area and I was looking into Financial Engineering programs and came across the Financial Engineering programs at Baruch and Columbia. With the admissions deadline only a few days out, I have several questions:

• Should I apply to the FE program at Baruch without taking GRE?
• Is it possible to take the Refresher classes without being admitted to the FE program?
• Is this a full-time or part-time program?
• What is the tuition like for residents and non-residents?

I have a bachelors of science in Computer Science. What are some factors considered for admission, i.e. GRE score, GPA, etc?

Thank you

Looks like you have a realistic chance of applying to any program NEXT YEAR. This year is pretty much over.
Take a year to prepare, do good research on each program.
