Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yan He" data-source="post: 2172" data-attributes="member: 59">I really couldn't forget when Dan told me that I was admitted and lead me to the office, then asked Cathy to make a copy of my admission letter. I was so excited. I've been working in law firms and government agents for years before applying to the MFE program, none of my experiences has directly connection with finance, math or programming. For career change, I began the research about MFE programs in New York City. I sent my application in March 2005, yes, 2005, with my outdated GRE scores (which was took in 1996) :mrgreen: ....even after that, I did not feel ready at all. Then I contacted the admission office for deferral. Then I quit my job.I began to take Calculus I, II, and III and Linear Algebra, Object-Oriented Programming in CUNY colleges which ever fit my schedule. It's really challenging to me, since I haven't took any math class after 1997. Then in March 2006, I brought a new GRE score and transcripts of math, statistics and programming with all A's to Dan......That's my story.</blockquote>
