Toronto MathFin UofT MMF Students

I thought this program doesn't offer scholarship??

 

[Keith Tan]

Yes. You can apply for a private one on your own. From my admissions encounter feedback with other schools, scholarship administration is a nightmare.

Applied last week. It was a relatively painless application compared to many of the US ones. Does anyone know how many people get interview invitations? I heard most people they're considering who are close to Toronto will receive interviews. I'm graduating from UWaterloo.

Hi, did you apply for MQF of UWaterloo? General speaking, which one is easier to get in?

u applying MQF as well? did u receive the invitation?

 

[gavchik]

anybody know if they started calling people for interviews?

 

[Ruben]

I have also applied, but any notice yet.

I am a current student in the MMF program.

on info session they said about 150 (out of 500 applicants) get interviews and I heard that they actually prefer international students

This is not the true. They do not prefer international students. If anything, they should prefer resident students since it is easier for them to get full time employment.

All students pay the same amount of money; 40k regardless of if you are from Toronto or Bermuda.

International students only have to pay a little extra for health insurance but it is not much.

Dismantler, thanks for the info! Do you have any suggestions what to review in case I get an interview? ( I was out of school for a few years, so need to review some math concepts)

 

[Dismantler]

Review some probability theory and general math courses you took in undergrad.

If you got an A+ in ode's you better know how to answer basic questions when asked. That kills a lot of people in the interviews. They have amazing marks but can't answer basic questions.

 

[gavchik]

thanks! what do you think are basic questions, solving an equation or theoretical concepts?

 

[Dismantler]

Both. There is a pen and paper test and also an oral interview.

 

[Kky]

Has anyone heard anything from this program so far?

 

[AndrewN]

[gavchik]

Thanks, but it is way to early to congrat...
I dont think this is related to "first pick", because I actually received the interview invitation one week ago saying that the interview was on March 25 when the officer would travel to Vancouver. Now, I guess the officer's schedule just changed a little bit.

I am in my last year at UBC. Major: finance, Minor: math

wow I did not know that they started to interviews outside of Toronto. Good luck anyway and if you can please give us some ideas how it went! I still hope to receive mine.
