Imperial MathFin Imperial College FinMath admitted

[MoLiu]

Hey,

I just got an offer from Imperial College FinMath Program but it requires a response in 28 days. I am afraid I won't hear from most programs at U.S schools until then or even later. What do you think I should do? (Imperial is definitely not my top choice)

Thanks

My 2 cents : Don't make a hasty decision... Wait until you get a reject from all the choices above Imperial and if that's the case then you can re-apply imperial next yr and meanwhile have some work-ex ....

Thanks for your advice. I just found that they require me to deposit some money, like 10% of tuition after I accept the offer (it's a conditional offer, as they call). I don't know why they want me to do that. Does that mean I can still go to a different school even if I accept the conditional offer?

I'm interested in what are your choices above Imperial and why ?

I guess they keep the 10% if you go to a different school. They want to know that your serious.

I also applied to MIT, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, and Oxford. I don't know the ranking of the FinMath program at IC compared to the schools I have mentioned. What do you think?

Also, I am having an interview with MIT next week. You have any idea of the questions they ask?

Thanks
