We have indeed made most of our decisions, but we are not completely finished.

Around how many offers would you possibly send out later?

That's hard for me to say.

 

[Frank Chen]

That's hard for me to say.

Do you think it's still two digits of offers that will be sent out?

Hello, I would like to ask a few questions regarding the Courant MSMF program.

(1) How have students without prior work experience fared through the employment process
during the summer internship and after graduation? Do they normally have disadvantages in
securing employment or have they performed at a comparable level to peers with experience?
If possible, I would also like to see a detailed placement record for the past students (especially in the recent years of 2023, 2022, 2021).

(2) What is the distribution of the job positions graduate students have gone on to pursue in terms of percentages?

(3) What were typical career outlooks for students who are interested in applying AI and Data Science to asset/portfolio management?
Do they normally begin their career at major investment banks or is it more common to directly go to roles in prop trading shops, private equity,
asset management firms, or hedge funds regardless of AUM?

Thank you very much for your kind reply in advance.

@CourantMathFinance Hi, I heard that the class size of this program will be decreased, is this true? If it’s true, how much would that be? And are there still offers being sent out?

After I enrolled in the program, I received an email from the program director about some details of the program. He did mention that they are reducing the class size this year but didn't mention by how much.

 

[CourantMathFinance]

Yes, I can confirm that we admitted fewer students this year and are expecting a smaller class size in the fall.

What is the class size these days?

@CourantMathFinance Through your message on quantnet in 2021, I guess, from now on, will you be admitting more applicants only if applicants, who have already been admitted, decline their offer?

@CourantMathFinance
I am curious about the expected timeline for Part Time applications.
It's been a month since I applied and I haven't received back any information yet.

Hello, just wondering have anyone heard back from NYU Math Fin program?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

I've been told it will take a few more weeks for decisions to be released.

 

[latus_rectum]

Any updates ?

Looks like there was an acceptance yesterday according to the tracker

My acceptance came in today, but for some reason the tracker changes my date to yesterday.

Investigating.

Just curious...does NYU release decisions in one batch? Or multiple batches?

Never mind....tracker indicates in previous years they do it continuously.

Should be fixed now. It is a display formatting bug.
