@Pavlos Sakoglou started this so maybe you guys are doing something similar Getting Stock Prices and Visualising, C++

Jacob, Thanks for continuing the work we started. I will make a resource for you to organize the information better. You will be able to edit it anytime.

Can you using curl from the terminal to get the data directly?

Very interesting questions. If you look at the auto industry, you will see that autonomous, self-driving cars are already happening. It's not if but when it will be the future of driving. AI is the technology behind it. You can be certain that AI will replace many jobs in many industries...

That would be something you can use to show your leadership skills and other initiatives. For example, you can show that you have been leader of the Math/Science club, organized some business conferences for the students, run some business, etc. Anything that can show you have an edge over the...

Words to live by. Financial jobs are without security, pension, retirement plan, hence the common mentality of making as much as you can while you can. Keep in mind that NYC, Boston, Chicago i.e financial centers are very high cost of living cities so your money does not go as far as in other...

You bet. Hopefully we will see an active discussion when they see the placement numbers for the first time :)

Many Chinese parents put their house as collateral to take out a loan for their children's education in the US so it's a big risk for many MFE students. The bet only pays if they get into a good program with reliable placement track record, do well in the program, interview wells to get...

The 19th. Edited the post to correct the oversight.

The 2018 QuantNet Rankings of Financial Engineering programs will be released to the public on Tues 19th, Dec 2017. As a big part of our effort to make our ranking of MFE programs similar in transparency to US News rankings, we will make public placement data for the first time this year.

When we discussed this in 2011, it was valued at $13 and a lot of people were skeptical (myself included). Now it's at 14,000 and growing. Bitcoin - a new kind of currency

You can send him a conversation which will be forwarded to his email address. He will get it and reply if the email is still valid. Good luck.

Just a quick reminder for everyone applying to add their timeline and status to the trackers so we can all the latest updates. It has helped tremendously to everyone involved. Tracker | QuantNet Community

Whatever you do, do not go for a PhD in Math. Realistically, you can try to get an internship and get some work experience first.

No reason to be buying 1080p TV anymore. 4K is the norm and you should get it to future proof. You should look at Vizio monitor. It's essentially a TV without a TV tuner. I thought I would miss out on the TV but mostly I just stream. I have a couple of those from Costco. You can cast from your...

Without anything to compare (job details, comp, etc), you are asking people to pick a brand over another.

If possible, send out another one with Waive box checked.

Thank for letting us know. It's quite a shock to learn about his passing. A lot of us used his books on C++ while doing our MFE.

Long time. where have you been?

Know your competitors. There are plenty of decent programs around so you will likely get into one or two but it's a question marks if they will be a good investment. Exams/certs have minimal ROI. I would rather have you spend those time sharping your programming, stats skills. Years ago, few...

I know the author of this advice essay. He screens applications for the NYU Courant program so you can take it for what it's worth. https://www.quantnet.com/threads/do%E2%80%99s-and-don%E2%80%99ts-of-mfe-applications.12664/

This is a fact of life that many of us have known for years, specially in the field of financial engineering. This has been discussed ad nauseam here. Anyone believes it will be any different in the foreseeable future? The Disappearing American Grad Student

I'm glad that you resolved your issue and found something that works for you but I'm not entirely positive that we know the root cause of your issue. I'm not sure what the issue is and when you experience this issue. Adding the ip and hostname only helps when your computer and your ISP's DNS...

Because they can, given how many applicants they can get for any open spot. The appearance of an extremely tough passing bar is part of the allure as well. I do think the IT industry is similar where the Facebooks, Googles of the world use those exams to thin the herd.

In our post-graduate master's in Financial Mathematics programme, you will focus on the tools that allow you to develop pricing models, learn about different financial securities and how they are used in risk management or asset management. Consequently, emphasis is given to stochastic...

You guys should just wait for our 2018 MFE rankings. It will be the most transparent and the best rankings that QuantNet has ever produced. This has taken so much work so it will be produced later than past years but will be well worth the wait.

What does the internship entail? The more you know about it, the better. What tools they use at work, what they need help on?

Already added it to the correct section for you. Thanks

Thinkpad was legendary before when it was still under IBM. I got one of the T60 when I did my MFE but been using Macbook Pro the last few years.

You may be onto something here. CMU and UCB quant programs are offered by their respective business schools and they do follow some standard protocol on stats reporting. Columbia doesn't publish any stats because they aren't required. There are many programs that do not publish their admission...

Changed it for you.

Only 2 reviews for the Fordham program so far. We need more of them from alumni and current students of the program. https://www.quantnet.com/resources/fordham-university-quantitative-finance-program.22/ Just rate the program from 1-5 stars and write a review.

Thanks @CMFEAlumnus for your very helpful post. I hope more alumni of the MFE program would submit a detailed review like you post above. We need more input like this to help anyone consider the program. https://www.quantnet.com/resources/columbia-university-financial-engineering-program.5/

Quantnet is NOT the appropriate place to find funding for your trading. Besides that, to avoid any legal issue with SEC, you are required to pass a Series 7 license when you solicit money from others. Even then, there are things that you are not allowed to do. SEC approves FINRA rule requiring...

Maybe go find a position with Tesla or someplace in the auto industry that is rushing to develop AI for autonomous cars. That's more exciting to me than pricing derivatives.

Done. You are now scheduled for 5/13/17.

Your payment and enrollment for 6/17 is confirmed. You will be automatically enrolled on that date and a message from your TA will be sent to your QuantNet mailbox.

Can everyone update their timelines in the Tracker so we can better share our progress and lower the anxiety level :) https://www.quantnet.com/tracker/

I once wrote "strong work ethnic" instead of "strong work ethic" on my resume and it's years later that one or two people point it out for me. Obviously, speller could not catch it. Luckily, the ones pointing out were not those that hired me. Lesson is, put it through as many eyes as you can...

30 years is the new 20. A lot of us (myself included) started the MFE track in their 30s. Make sure the program you join has a proven track record of supporting and placing career changers, part-timers.

A place to get student reviews of the programs is https://www.quantnet.com/resources/

We only rank programs that respond and provide sufficient data to our survey.

The next released will be called 2017 ranking. Expect it in early Oct.

Nice reading for QuantNet audience. Use it to have a more informed idea on career path. Banks cut budgets for maths and models as rules change - FT.com

@mhy mentioned a few reasons why rankings not based on actual data is not to be taken seriously.
