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).

We offer an online C++ certificate for people who apply to MFE programs. You can complete them to improve your programming weakness

Thanks for replying, Andy. I know this certificate. Actually I'm thinking about applying for this certificate. But do you think it's enough for my "lack of quant" disadvantage? And I'm not sure about its applicability. How can I show that I made a big improvement especially when applying for programs other than Baruch?(No bias)

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.

Hi,sir. I am applying PhD scholarship. University said that they are very excited if i apply PhD Financial Engineering. I had background for finance with BSc Banking and Finance and Master in financial management in London. Actually, i didnt study subjects in maths in university(GRE OR GMAT... I HAVE NEVER KNOWN IT). But I think i am not too bad about maths when i was in high school.

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.

I suspect they just want you to apply even if it's not a good fit for you, given your background. Most people studying FE have a math or engineering background since the materials taught is highly mathematical.

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!
