Note that two nominated schools (Harvard, Wharton) don't even have a quant/FE program - they kicked them to Honorable Mentions (among with Baruch FYI).
Prestige is the main game in finance.

I see Rutgers MQF ( MSQF) in top 10.
In 2008 ranking few people ( review/feedback/replies) mentioned that MQF was added by mistake.
I guess its clear, it was not a mistake.

I am sure few will argue regarding authenticity of such rankings, but it made me happy as a 2012 MQF student.

I just wanted to point out the list is in alphabetical order and not the actual rankings, in case anyone missed that point

"MIT was the only favorite among all five of our judges. "​

Wow~ Correct me if I am wrong , but I thought MIT Mfin is the least quantitative program among top 10 schools. (?)​
