hi Joy, I received an email from Univ. of Michigan that I have been recommended for MFE and will soon get a mail stating next steps and fee deposits etc. Their website states that they send an offer letter later *if selected*. What exactly is difference between *recommended* and *offered*? Is there chances that they reject candidate after sending *recommendation letter* ?

Hi Joy! I am from India and just got admitted into the MQF Program at Rutgers.. whats ur personal feedback of this program at Rutgers?

I am aspiring for Baruch MFE program .
Thanks in advance.

Hi Joy, you mentioned that N(d1) is the probability of what?

hey Joy:

What was the info that you had about Postdocs in financial Engineering again (in Canada). Can you refresh my memory, I am graduating in May. Thanks

hi Joy, we only have 6 questions this time, 2 for each. which ones you prefer?

I am not attending IIT Chicago. I am attending Baruch College.

Hey Joy,
I will be attending MS finance at IIT chicago in fall 2010. I read that you will be too. I was wondering if you could help me out with concentration selection and some general queries. I am currently in New Delhi, India. Please let me know. Thank you

I will make a blog post about inspiration behind independant research and so on soon.

@To Oil or Not to Oil: Part One

HI, found your article, very thoroughly written

Needed ur advice.
I would be joining FSU for Financial mathematics Program.
I was keen on doing independent research just like you.
Can you give a few notes on how to choose area of research & how to find information on that topic.

I still havn't given up on the financial engineering thing and thought I should ask you couple ofm ore questions if you dont mind.

When you joined IIT, how much of a math background did you have. To be honest I have all the calc and pde stuff and linear algebra and I really did not have any issues with the course either. But, currently I am taking a Probability theory course at BYU and I dont understand much of it. According to my professor the whole financial engineering thing is just that! So I am kind of scared.

What do you think.

Hi Joy,

How are you doing? I saw your post about the IIT Master of Finance program. I need to ask for your insider knowledge about the difference between IIT Master of Finance vs Master of Mathematical Finance program.
In addition, I believe both programs are 1.5 years long. How much is the estimated cost of living in Chicago for either of these two programs?
Thank you if you can advise.

Cheers,
Marko
