Congrats, Andy, on another year of rankings. It should be noted that only select programs were invited to participate per our last conversation and request. I am confident that had the program I represent (Rutgers FSRM) been invited, we would be right up there among the top 25.

MIT MFin is not STEM?

That salary vs tuition ratio by Baruch is absolutely insane. Who else makes 3X what their master's degree cost??

 

[Daniel Duffy]

I do, but I did my Masters in 1975 (it cost 300 punt).
And in those days there was no Quantnet C++ course.

It should be as every single program is STEM.

MIT and JHU don't have the tick mark associated with STEM programs in 2022 rankings. (Eligible STEM degree as designated by DHS for the OPT purpose.)

 

[pkp]

I see, it has been updated.

JHU now does as well. I have to get a confirmation from the program before I add the mark.

What a terrible ranking, the initiator of the QuantNet is form Baruch, so make the Baruch be the first and delete all the other programs which might be better than Baruch. I believe tfetimes ranking will be a better choice.

If you actually did proper research, for example, (1) check LinkedIn profiles and (2) cross-check between different school's MFE curriculums/course syllabi and the green book/150 Most Freq Asked Questions on Quant Interviews/etc, you'd realize how bad this tfetimes ranking is--which you clearly did not...

LOL. The only main difference between the tfetimes' and QuantNet's ranking is that the tfetimes' ranking shows more programs ranked even lower (than Baruch if we follow your preferred ranking system)--presumably more cash-cows...

The 25% Mean GRE Score dominates TFE times ranking, while Full-Time Graduates Employed 3 Months after Graduation only weighs 5%. This definitely does not make any sense.

GRE is the most useless score.
