Princeton MFin Princeton MFin Admission Discussion

[Marcus Love Quant]

Just wondering if there are any college applicants got invited for alumni interview yet, anyone knows?

Just wonder if you completed the 2nd round interview?

I did not complete a 2nd round interview

Does anyone receive the random math assessment?

I did not receive one. Care to share a bit of detail?

Can anyone share more about the math assessment? Is it a required next step or purely random??

 

[Zoz]

Has anyone had the math assessment yet and can speak to its difficulty? I am assuming it would not consist of coding problems... Please let me know if I was wrong. Many thanks.

It said "randomly selected among interviewees" in the email.

 

[josephron]

Do you both have mathematical backgrounds?

 

[josephron]

Can anyone who has taken it comment on if its difficult or not? Thanks

 

[anonym]

I would say it is very straightforward.

Thank you for the info! May I ask do you have math backgrounds?

yes

 

[josephron]

Is it much harder than the MIT one

 

[Zelong Qiu]

just done it, isn't too difficult, pretty standard stuff.

 

[needtoscore]

is this MAths test linked to GRE Quant scores somehow?

 

[tips]

Couple of posters here that got the test had perfect scores on their math GRE. Just take Princeton’s claim about it being randomly assigned in face value, they don’t get anything out of misleading students. Likely the test is being used as part of some pilot program

I have not got any notification for my 2nd round of interviews with Alumni, neither randomly selected for the Maths test. I do not have a good feeling about my chances :P

 

[tips]

1. The alumni interview is mostly another data point used to judge goodness of fit for certain candidates. I know of at least two candidates that got their alumni interview before their actual interview so don’t worry about it.

2. this test is randomly assigned

I would not fret over it, but good luck

Think two tailed; you could be an outlier on the far right as well. Cheers
