Hi Andy
I got the acceptance from Rutgers FSRM and Suny Buffalo MS Finance Quantitative track programs.
Please help in choosing one of these programs.
How the curriculum of these programs differ?
Which program will be better for an international student to get internship and job placements easily?
Please suggest.
At last he asked me what my first choice is and how much chance I will come if I get enrolled. Professor Martin is pretty nice and we talked about 45 minutes. He also talked a lot about their curriculum, career service and work opportunities in the west coast.

Hope this is helpful for you! Good luck!
4. For a joint PDF of x and y, how to find marginal density. If f (x) and f (y) are independent, what's their joint density function. How to find the covariance, what does it mean that an estimator is unbiased.
5. For programming, he didn't ask me questions and just said they will use both C++ and R.
Questions I remembered are:
1. Find the derivative of some x*log (x), cos (x^2), pretty straight forward
2. When you take partial derivative with a vector, the result is a scalar or vector
3. Some concepts about linear algebra, like what is the definition of singular matrix, when a matrix is invertible,
First, he asked some general questions about my interest, resume and courses in the transcript.
In the technical part, he asked many concepts about math/probability/stats and programming.
Hi Ming,
I noticed you were asking for the interview experience on the UW CFRM program. I had the interview with Professor Doug Martin on Wed and got admitted yesterday.
Hey buddy, I am applying for bharuch and columbia ms in financial engineering course. could you tell me what should I write in my essay or give me a review of my essay if i send it to you..my id is lucky.sahoo280@gmail.com..thanks in advance
Hey Anthony, I just got into WUSTL MSF Corporate finance track. I am an international student and would like to work in US after my masters but there are no statistics for International student placements on the career website. Plus the corporate finance track has very few international students? Is that because MSF corporate finance is not worthy for an international student?

I think international students gravitate to the quant track because they are more comfortable in that area. This is a generalization of course.

The corporate finance track is going to be for those interested in banking, asset management, valuation, credit analysis, etc. I would look at it as a positive.
Prof. Abbott, If someone with an MSc in Scientific Computing from CIMS sends you a resume, would you rather see that he took a class in Stochastic Calculus or Advanced Risk Management? I will take either one of those classes as an elective. I want this degree to be used in finance, so, as electives, I selected classes from the core courses from the Math for Finance Program. Thank you!

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

Thanks

Dear Andy !
I am recently selected for Fulbright Scholar and they have chosen Boston Uni for MS Financial Math for me. FB asked to upgrd GRE but I made it to 155 Q. what are my chances ?
Andy Nguyen
Andy Nguyen
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.
