CMU MSCF CMU MSCF Admission Discussion

[Andy Nguyen]

Hopefully not to a color of longer wavelength

41 pending cases now. The vast majority of results today are of green color.
What did I say about applicants using Tracker have better luck?

21K is it? Congrats and hope to see you around. As long as you are in the East coast, you aren't too far away from most of us. I'm sure we are going to have some bar meetup in the future.
Btw, you haven't selected CMU as your final destination yet.

 

[DeltaVega]

Andy Nguyen actually yes 21k how did you know? is it something most students get? anyways.. i'll update the final destination when i send in my enrollment deposit (next week)

There seems to be at least two levels of scholarship money. Anyone know how many of each kind they give out?

 

[tellingeric]

i wonder if anyone has experience of asking scholarship if they did not mention it in the admission letter.
or is financial aids available for the mscf?

Hey guys I'm new here. But I just recently got into quant finance. I am currently a sophomore in my undergrad and I am a finance major and minoring in math. I wont complete my calc series until the end of my junior year so I wont have completed some of the upper level math courses that mfe programs want such as multivariate calculus, differential equations, and an upper prob and stat course until my senior semesters. I understand that applications are accepted in November. So my question is will it just be a waste of time applying to schools next year, the start of my first senior semester, without these upper level math classes? Or should I go and work for a year after my undergrad so all of the classes I will take will be on my transcript at the time of application? Or should I go to school for another semester to take more math classes to improve my chances? Which option would help me out the best at getting into a top program? Thank you and sorry for the long post that isn't really relevant.

Looks like R3 interview calls are up. I received mine today.

 

[Math Andrew]

mine too. Do you know who is gonna interview you?
In my email there is no information about this.

 

[Mammons Servant]

None here. I guess it will be given once we give our desired dates for interview.

Hi,

Just wondering if there are others in the same boat as me. I applied for part-time study for this coming Fall in CMU MFE. I haven't got the interview notification yet. Does this mean I'm pretty much rejected?

A bit nervous...

Thanks

 

[Math Andrew]

Today should be the day for the decision for round 3.
I cross my fingers...
Anyone who is impatiently waiting?
In the meantime, I have been admitted to another (european) program, so the day just started in a good way!

 

[Math Andrew]

Results are out. And I'm in!

hello, guys.

I am applying for the cmu mscf and mit mfin

I am still working full-time and quite busy, also preparing for my cfa test in December. So I'm afraid that I might not have enough time to prepare for the interview.

should I apply the 1st round?

same questions with the MIT mfin

thanks a lot!

probably want to make sure you get an interview first before worrying about it, but it's nothing to worry about
