Hi, I got an admission from UCLA MFE . What do you think of this program? I saw some really bad review of this program on this website, saying that this program has zero exposure to the industry and zero career service, and the placement record on the official website is all windowdressing. Is this true? I also got an MSOR from Columbia, which offer do you think is better? Thank you very much!

Hello Professor Ken Abbott, I'm currently a finance and mathematics major student in China. I plan to step into the career in Quantitative finance, particularly my interest is about risk management. Would you please share with me what's the typical risk manager's career path and how should I do to become a sucessful risk manager? Thanks a lot!

I have taken two online courses data analysis(in R) and algorithm (a little Java and C). But many schools still don't put on any weights on them during my application.
Any idea and suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Andy.

My BG: B.S. in Eco & MS in Finance. 4 years of W/E in Commercial Banking ( a little quantitative about risk hedging and structured products). For me, finance and math is not a problem. Statistics is also practiced and learned in school. But programming is really my drawback. My lack in Math is advanced prob and PDE.

Andy, I am avid in getting access into one of the MFE/MSQF programs because I want to switch to this area. Being rejected by a few programs this year with reasons of 1. No programming exposure, 2. Not enough maths, I wonder what can I do to make me more qualified in order to apply next year. (I have to do it right now, just a few months left).

Hi Professor, I am MBA fin. from a tier 1 Bschool in India. Currently working as a business analyst in an IT company. I Did Mechanical Engineering from reputed institute. I was good in Maths from early days. Curriculum of MFE feels truly enriching. But looking the risk return perspective what will be your take in applying for course. Kindly advice.

Hello professor. I got admitted to MQF at Rutgers and MFE in CGU. I am confused about which course to go for. As an International student good job opportunity is a priority and challenge as always. Please advice. It would be a great help.

Hello, this isn't exactly recent, but the march 16 economist had a special report on America ("the America that works"). Was wondering if you had any thoughts on it?

Hey Andy ,
I have a GRE score of 320 / toefl score of 109 / 1 year software job experience and fairly well extra curricular profile.
I have applied to Rutgers , Courant , Baruch ,NYU-Poly ,IIT .
However I also want to have a go at the european universities. I tried to search for rankings on european colleges but couldnt find anything substantial.
Which unis will be good from the point of view of placement ?

I dont understand why they saw my transcript and suggest about this program. Would you mind to tell me basic about subject: Financial Engineering. Is this suitable for a girl, and is it difficult for person who dont study a lot of maths to study?
Thanks a lot and hope to see your reply.

Just as a proposal. BU is quite mentioned in the forums and is one of the masters that has the most applications. Maybe it deserves it's own tag ;-)

Hi Andy, I'm Aerospace Engineering student at Purdue. I'm thinking of changing my major to MFE, should I take stats course first? I know MFE in purdue is not that good, would it be better if I get a master degree from MFE in purdue then apply for PhD degree for a better program? THX so much!
