Rutgers MSMF 2015 admits

[Hemant Dua]

Hi guys,

Since there wasn't an official thread for Rutgers MSMF admits for the session starting in 2015 till this point, I thought I may as well get one going.

Who all here have received responses in the affirmative so far and are strongly considering joining?

 

[Kou]

Have applied but no reply yet. Did you get through ?

Hi, Kou. Yeah, I have a conditional offer of admission Just noticed you too are from India. Where do you currently reside?

 

[Kou]

Hi, I am currently residing in Delhi. Where are you from ?

 

[Hemant Dua]

I too am from Delhi. When did you submit your application? Would the Rutgers MSMF be a strong consideration for you in the event of admission?

I'm currently seeking reviews of the program. None of the ones on QuantNet are very recent submissions.

 

[Kou]

Not sure, will decide once I get the admits!

I got an admit on the 3/12....

Hey, cshane. Are you strongly considering joining? I noticed from a different thread that you're waiting for responses from NYU and Columbia. I too have applied to the latter and am a bit worried I may not have a response by Rutgers' supposed deadline, May 15.

Do you mean April 15? If it's between Columbia and Rutgers it may be a hard choice. Yes Columbia is ivy, but they're not as math heavy as NYU or Rutgers, and their career services suck. On the other hand I can't completely disregard the advantage of brand name... NYU is actually my top choice though because Courant is the place for applied math. Also I live in NYC so there's the convenience factor.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I had meant April 15. Yeah, I can see why NYU is the best fit for you personally. I, though, am an international applicant, and I suppose brand name might be a big consideration if I do end up having to choose between Rutgers MSMF and the MAFN.

 

[Hemant Dua]

When exactly did you submit your Columbia application, btw? I submitted mine on March 2, hence the worry about the response for MAFN not arriving in time.

Hey guys! I also just got admitted to Rutgers today. But I couldn't find any recent reviews of the program, either

One way I can think of is to cold email the current students and ask their opinions on the program.

Likewise :D Seems like a good idea

Btw Jay, how much time have you been afforded to decide?

April 15th. I think it is the official respond date for all students as stated in the email.
