Hey, does anybody have information about Hofstra MS in Quantitative Finance and NJIT MS in Mathematical and Computational Finance? Hardly any info of them except on their university web pages!
Thanks

Oh sorry.. never mind. I thought Baruch is so high on the ranking because of their low tuition.. Then, I have no idea why Baruch is so high. I don't hear the reputation of their alumni in the industry.

Baruch is very high on JPM. I don't know what you mean by alumni in the industry.

Is there going to be some ranking for 2014-2015?

Yes. There will be one for 2015 released later this year.

Yes. There will be one for 2015 released later this year.

Why does it take longer time for 2014-2015, comparing to last ranking?

Well first you need to know this site is very popular for ppl who want to study FE programs. But the administration or founder of the site graduated from Baruch program. It is probably ranked higher than it should. But ppl may not know that and thus lots of strong international students come to Baruch. They have high gpa and gre scores. In addition the director of Baruch program is very dedicated to find jobs for students. So now I think its current rank is reasonable. If you want to find notable alumni in finance it is probably not easy as the overall brand name of Baruch is not that great.

Andy,

Is it possible to publish the statistics (placement rate, starting salaries, etc) used to compute the ranking scores?
