I'm waiting for the explanation of internship placements. Why both of you guys in the same program give out different perspective toward this ?
PS: Ppl might think I'm bitter cause I don't have an internship. As a fact of fact I do have an internship and thankfully it has to do with Fin Engg
Both of us are correct. He said 'it is horrible until now.'
I said 'we are getting'
Mean that, in the past is horrible. But now become better and better. I think this is what I mean.
If you want to get some sort of official number on internship, you can contact Sabria Kushad, assistant to the director. She should be able to give you some color on the current state of affair.
Her contact can be found here http://www.grad.illinois.edu/admissions/depts/contact.asp?id=218
Current students giving conflicting numbers illustrates the very fact that they know as much as their peers are willing to tell them. Give Sabria a call.
Was the placement at ITG a developer role as well?
It's five in the morning and... I know most of my fellow students have already finished their homework for tomorrow's class... I had so many coffees today to fight with that homework... Unfortunately I cannot fall asleep now... So bear with me...I'm going to echo "descendents" and ask for some stats on internships. I think it would be much more helpful if someone could give us some actual statistics (as of right now). X students out of X in the program have gotten internships. We have no idea what your definition of "horrible" or "becoming better and better" actually means. If you don't have an exact amont, please estimate, but actually give numbers rather than describe it. That would be much more helpful I think.
Also, I have been accepted at UIUC and UofM and I'm trying to decide between the two. I was leaning towards UIUC, but being a new program, I would like more info. Piyapong and "Nothing_is_fair", can both of you ask more of the current students at UIUC to get on here and describe their experiences? Also, if they are willing, have them fill out the reviews that Andy has so we can get more of an insight. Right now we have one person's word against anothers and it would be helpful if we had more people's opinions of the program. Since this is a new program, a lot of us want to know exactly what it is that we are going to pay $51,000.
I would think that being a new program, they would encourage their students to be more transparent with what they are about and disadvantages/advantages.
Your help is appreciated.
<offtopic> Is that a real word? :D
Well... Applied to a Developer Role, but unfornately went to a quant position in Algo Trading...
We have a large number of current UIUC MFE students who are members here (or just signed up the past 2 days) so hopefully prospective students interested in the program can hear from both side of the opinion spectrum and make an informed decision.
