Review of Columbia University Financial Engineering program

[varun]

Hi
I would like to know if work experience is required for this program at Columbia.
If no, then what % of the students enrolled do not have prior work experience.
Thanks

Isn't deadline January 6th? Why does it say December in the Quantnet site?

Corrected. It's Jan 6. It used to be Dec.

What is the enrollment rate for the program and the acceptance rate?

There are about 70 - 80 students in the Columbia MFE program for the 2013-2014 academic year. The acceptance rate is something like 13%. This is just from my memory, so don't quote these numbers exactly.
