Hi Andy! Would you mind taking a moment to review my request posted here and share your valuable insights when possible? I'd really appreciate it!
Thank you!

Hi Andy
I wanted to know whether MFin is a good way to get into IBs. I'm a recent graduate with my bachelors being from a non finance background. I have cleared 2 levels of CFA and am working as a valuation analyst. I am planning for MS and am puzzled between MFin and MFE. Would appreciate your advice on the value of a MFin from a reputed college in todays world and whether it will help me in finding a good job.

Hi Andy! I would like to get your opinion on LSE's MSc Financial Mathematics. Thanks

Hey Andy,

Love the new tracker look, much more intuitive.

Welcome back! It's been a while

Hi Andy
I was accepted into the FSU Financial Math PhD program, and there's very little recent information I can find on things like employability, program quality. As an international student, I am considering the program due to the fee waiver+stipend offered to me, but I would like to know if it's worth my time. Is there a resource that you think might be helpful, or a person I could direct my queries towards?

Hi Andy,

I recently got accepted into the MS Quantitative finance joint program between NYU Stern and NYU Shanghai. As the program is relatively new, I'm wondering if you might have any insights on whether it is on par with MFE/mathematics programs or if other members have discussed the program.

Hi Andy,

I am pursuing a double MS in CS and Data Science from top 10 program CS in the US. What are some ways I can learn from to make myself more competitive? I am missing the financial aspect and am worried that would make me less competitive. I am learning mental math, stats, and looking at practice interviews. What else can I do to prepare better? I want to become a buy-side quant. Thank you.

Hi Andy!

Just got into USC MFE program, however, I do not know how respected this program is in the field. It is pretty hard to find a lot of information about it except a few times it is mentioned on here. Do you have any insight on the quality of the program and if it is worth pursuing? Thanks.

Hey! I read your comment about garbage MFE programs.
I am hoping to get into the PhD Program in Applied Mathematics (Quantitative Finance) at Stony Brook. Would you call that a garbage university too? Should I not apply there?

Hello alfredo i am also doing the same coding as you please provide me your code or please email me nirajan_khatri@yahoo.com, it would be a great help for me

Hi Andy,

I was wondering if you knew much about UCL's MSc in Computational Finance? I can't seem to find much about it, especially since it's a fairly new program. If you happened to know anything about its merits and reputation, I'd appreciate any such insight.

Thanks!

Hi Professor Abbott,

I'm a high school student who is really enthralled in the world of finance. I just watched your MIT OCW video and absolutely loved it, so I wanted to reach out to thank you so much for sharing such a good lecture (and for posting the spreadsheet/documents online). I think the idea of pursuing HFT is really exciting, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can as early

Hi Andy,

Have you heard anything about the UZH ETH quant finance program??
Would appreciate to get an advice, whether it is worth living 18 months in Switzerland and spending ~36K. The goal is to stay either in Switzerland or go to London (citizenship from non-eu country).

Many thanks!!

Hi Andy,

Just to be sure, the username that we registered at QuantNet will not be used as the official name of candidate for the C++ programming certificate. am I correct to say so?

Many thanks!

Hello Andy,

I have recently become much more active on QuantNet and was wondering what are we doing to increase the number of reviews for all the programs that we have on the website here. One idea is talking to someone is the departments of these programs and ask them to ask their students for a review? Not the best, but I think this a problem we should address to help this forum grow.

Thanks,

Michael

Andy,

Over the last month, I have been working on my finals for University of London (there finals are in September in October), in addition doing a python bootcamp at Rutgers. As a result, I haven't been able to put in more time on this course. I was hoping to extend once possibly twice, to insure I am able to get the most out of this course.

Would this be okay?

Very Best,

Steve

Hi Novak,

Congrats on winning US open few days ago

Just joking.

I am also born in Belgrade and also relatively new in Quant world.

I have read your post and would like to connect with you.
