Hi Andy,

It's nice to get connected to you. Needed some advice regarding applying to the schools that fit my profile.

It will be of great help if you can share with me your email id.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
I have recently been accepted into MS Quantitative Finance at Suny Buffalo. I've read in one of your posts that you were in the same course. Can you guide me about the academics and placement opportunities? I have applied in few other universities, but I m leaning towards Buffalo because its really cheap as compared to others.
Thanks

Hi Andy! Is there a problem adding this into the tracker, I mean it'll really help me. Actually I m excepting admits from few other universities as well but Buffalo's fees is a real bet and I really want to know whether people are applying in this , quality of people, etc. It's prefix in the tracker will be really helpful. Thanks

155Q is quite low. You need 167 or above to be competitive. Check out quantnet.com/tracker for profile of those admitted into the program.

Fulbright selection can help for ADmission Co ?

Not necessarily, the criteria for Fulbright scholarship is different from quant programs.

Hi Andy,
I think you should create a tab for MSF(QuantFin Track) Suny Buffalo in Tracker
Thank You

Hello Golllini,
Just came across your post on "Advice for Princeton MFin Applicants".
I am a bit confused between MS in Finance and MS in Financial Economics. Can you please kindly guide me through this?

Hi Vaibhav,

I'm not sure what the difference is either.

Princeton's MFin program is really a Master of Financial Engineering program. It's a bit lighter on the quant side, but you can't graduate without at least one course that teaches you the basics of Stochal and one course that teaches you econometrics.

There is a difference between an MFE (Financial Engineering) and an MSF. Is that what you are asking?

Vaibhav Dhabaria
Ok.
Yes. Actually when I started looking into my courses this was primarily my question. But now it has changed to:
MFE vs. MathFin vs. CompFin?
Considering that I don't want a profile that is full of coding.
do you think MathFin will be the right choice?
And what do you feel about NYU Poly's MFE?
G
GoIllini
Vaibhav I think the distinctions between MFE, Fin Math, MSFE, MS ORFE, and the like are extremely nuanced at most.

If you don't want a profile full of coding, avoid CMU MSCF and apply to the other top schools.

NYU has a great MFE program, but I am less sure about NYU Poly. Take NYU, Cornell, Columbia, or UC Berkeley if you can; if you can't, then maybe consider NYU Poly.

Hi Daniel, I am an undergrad (mechanical) from india. I have completed courses in C and python. However, My only exposure to C++ was during high school and i am well versed with the fundamentals and have the basic knowledge of data structures. With my background would you suggest i buy your book to have the C++ proficiency required for a potential MFE applicant or should i start with an elementary book? Thankyou!

Hi, Andy,
I have just enrolled in the C++ program and because I have little experience in C++, I feel difficulties in the first two levels.
Could you please change the enrollment date to a later time(like today) or is it better for me to cancel the enrollment now and come back after I get myself ready for the program? Thank you!
Andy Nguyen
Andy Nguyen
I have adjusted the starting date for you as today.
