Princeton MFin Princeton MFin Admission Discussion

[zyz]

Around 5 people straight out of Business program (some with Econ major)

Yeah, I believe @Ivan Nikolenko, the guy who is fielding questions here, also has a similar profile to those that you mentioned.

 

[Ivan Nikolenko]

I applied to Princeton but didn't get in. However, a girl with a very similar profile was admitted. Economics major from a Russian university, straight from the undergrad program, no FT WE, solid technical skills.

Got you!! What does "FT WE" mean by the way?

 

[Hongchi Zhang]

How important is PS for Princeton Mfin?? I have heard for general MFE programs, they don't look at PS much. They mainly focus on technical skills? Any difference for Princeton Mfin

Are you applying again this year? Do you mind sharing your profile?

Hey Ivan, I just checked out the HSE's Econ curriculum. I just wonder, what did you mean by solid technicals? Because all I can see there is couple of Math for Econ, Stochastics, and VBA/SPSS/STATA. Could you elaborate, please?

FT WE - full time work experience

Hi @zeez ,

I have put some details in the attached file. Also, we had more advanced courses in Econometrics, Time Series Analysis and Quantitative Finance during our last year in college. We did not have much exposure to programming though.

@Hongchi Zhang ,

No, I am not applying again. I am about to graduate from CMU MSCF=)

I guess there is still some chance that we will hear from them next week. But I am not holding my breath. Will post a update if I hear anything.

Did anyone receive an invite for the interview from Princeton? It seems that the first patch of invites were sent out this time last year.

 

[IceKitty]

I hear that someone has received the interview invitation. Did anyone also receive an invite?
