Mark一下！

我觉得BU比NYU poly的课程设置好，NYU全是1.5学分，觉得不够深入，楼主是Rutgers MSMF被拒了么？？

投票都错了，应该是交BU的钱，但是继续等哥大。。不过BU也是不错的选择！请问楼主是申请的罗格斯MSMF么？         ...

并不是，是MQF，因为MSMF里写了一个必修是PDE，我并没有上过PDE这门课，只是别的课里学过

这样，感觉楼主是overqualify了，我觉得MQF录人很水啊，我都被录了

Thanks for ur explanation. I understand 3 and 4 are a big issue even before I applied for MAFN program. It is caused by my undergraduate program which does not allow me many free elective. What I can do is to perform well in the classes I have taken.

In fact, some time series analysis and financial models are learned in finance classes. For the programming part, there are 10 levels to complete. I have finished several levels and hopefully, I can finish all 10 levels in May. This is the why I am not sure if I should ask CU to expedite my application. I think if I can finish my Math and C++ as soon as possible and update my transcript before they make decision, it may increase the possibility of admission.

Do you have any suggestions about how to choose between NYU Tandon or BU?

本身背景这么好，来BU不会让你失望。

这个项目相比tandon有什么优势？能不能详细说说

哈哈也没有啦，是我自己的原因，因为家里出了一些事，零时回国了一趟，他面试的邮件发给我的时候我在飞机上，看到邮件时他给的面试时间就是当天，我也没准备就面了，回答也很简短，给别人感觉应该不好……

1. If you really want an MFE, wanna study something quantitative, I guess the choice is obvious between  NYU Tandon vs BU when you read the program structure.

2. well, from a mathematics point of view:
I/ a time series course in finance deparmtn << one in the math/stat department.
Normally a finance version of it will at most go till thing like AIC or MLE, but rarely go into lag operator and matrix algebra for proofing, in order to leave a bit time for GARCH.
II/ C++ is definitly useful to get a job........but it doesn't show any mathematical ability. It is normally believe that a good maths student can learn programming after some time with difficulties, but not the other way round for CS learning math.

3. It definitly worth to ask Columbia again after you have that.......but I guess you cant wait for this at this moment anyway, i.e. out of picture for decision this moment.

Actually, I can pay the deposit of BU or Tandon and keep waiting for the MAFN. Meanwhile, finish my classes asap.

bu不知道，但linkedin上tandon毕业生很多去gs和大摩的，包括中国人

哥大MAFN还是挺看数学的，但是我觉得LZ背景到了，GRE分数结构也没问题。可以发信催一下。
