Hey Andy, could you kindly write to the director of the Financial Engineering and Risk Analytics program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and get some information about the program?

There is nothing to suggest that I will get a quicker respond if at all. Have you, a future student, tried to contact them and get any feedback?
If you know any recent grad of the program, ask if they like to submit a review of the program on Quantnet.

I did, but all I feel is that a request from Quantnet would sure make them tell more about their program.

Received 2 reviews for the GWU MS in Finance program and one review for AFI Escuela de Finanzas Aplicadas - Quantitative Finance.
If you submit a review, please leave an email/phone number for us to contact you to verify. A name only is not enough.

Reviews of Columbia MSOR, GWU MS Finance are up.
thanks andy. Columbia MSOR seems like a very solid program. it is probably my top choice right now. i am having an interview with them this upcoming week so hopefully it will turn out well.
why there is nobody post review on UMich's financial engineering? at least it is still a top 15 programs in America..is there no one attend it?

This is an interesting review. It further strengthens my doubt about the impact of a MFE program out of an engineering school. I think one of the main reasons universities like CMU/ Baruch and Haas have such high impact is due to their programs being housed in their business school.
Starting off at the analyst position is also a downside. Maybe a second year analyst would be good but if what he says is true and the firms are hiring their students at the same level as a B. Fin, that sucks.
Anyways, Michigan is a good school, but seems like the lack of their proximity to financial center is hurting them with getting good practitioners to teach and recruiting for MFE students.
Also I wonder how it looks on a resume to have a MFE degree but courses that are NOT quantitative and similar to MBA Finance. This logic of picking several MBA finance courses out of a MFE degree confused me.

While typing I though about that. I thought the way the City universities are set up that Baruch was the Business school of all the City universities.
Well they only have the arts and sciences and the public affairs departments at Baruch in addition to Zicklin Business School. I figured it was out of Business school.
For a program, that was founded over a decade ago, one would expect Michigan MFE to have a bigger footprint in the quant space. Maybe since it is housed in the engineering school, they have not felt the need to fire up their marketing / PR machine .
To interview in the same pool as folks completing bachelors degree in business would really suck..meaning the program didn't add any value to your profile.
Looking forward to seeing more Michigan reviews from folks who were more quant - inclined

When I was looking into MFE programs back in 2006, I remember UMich was mentioned quite often as one of the popular picks. But lately, it feels as if they have lost their edge in the course of public opinion.
The location isn't helping either.
