Do you feel like MFin and MFE programs aredesigned to equip students to be able to do particular tasks (i.e. securitiespricing, portfolio risk management, etc.), or are they more geared towardsproviding students with the statistical and modeling tools to be able to doother things in the industry. Do you feel like it provides the tools to be ableto pursue high-level ideas that PhDs and experienced professionals pursue (i.e.Andrew Lo's funds that take advantage of heteroskedasticity or AthanasiosOrphanides papers on uncertainty in optimal policy come to mind)? yuan_dingyi: Same question with Tianwenjun2014 Kim from Admissions: Hello LiZ62014 - our goal is to notify allcandidates by February 14th if they are invited to an interview.
