NYU Tandon MSFE vs Courant MathFin

[cywang]

Hi guys, I've just received offers from both NYU Tandon MSFE and Courant MathFin programs. I checked some previous discussion on the comparison of these two programs, but the information is a bit outdated. I'll appreciate it if anyone can give me some advice on which one to choose.

I'm a Courant MathFin graduate. In terms of brand and prestige, Courant is definitely better. However, I've got to admit that NYU Tandon is more aggressive in terms of job placement in recent years. The placement stats of Courant on quantnet is reliable. I think the companies or positions Courant graduates go to are often better. You can tell this by the salary. You can also look on LinkedIn to see where did graduates from these two programs go. Just keep one thing in mind, the number of Courant alumni is much smaller. We used to take less than 30 students. Even today, we only take about 50 students. Anyway, if you decide to come to Courant. Feel free to email me for more information.

Hi, Nice to talk to you.
I'am a brazilian lawyer with basic knowledge in statistics and calculus.
My dream is to work trading at Wall St.
So this year I will take the GRE test to aply on a Finance MBA.
Is that possible to aply a MFin? They will accept me without math skills? May I condition to take the basic levels of math an programming until the begining of the MFIn?
I Have time and focus to study from now to Fall/21.

Thank you.

I have no inside knowledge, but everything I have read indicates that Courant is the better program.
