I was just about to reply to this thread but you took the words right out of my mouth. I think the coursework change was an important factor for me to enroll in the program. I don't want to reiterate anything you said, as it covers a lot of what I wanted to say too. I think we just differ in what we want from the program.The course is an excellent introduction to Financial Engineering and can get you started on learning the relevant topics. I mentioned the courses done as a part of the program in my applications, I'm not sure if it helps but it shows interest and I have some relevant projects in some very important courses to show for it too. (Stochastic Calculus, Computational Finance, Machine Learning in Finance). It's slowly gaining traction afai, with the updated curriculum and rigor. I was pleasantly surprised when the CMU application recognized WorldQuant University as an institution.
