UMich MFE Info Session 2008 (updated)

backwaltz

从Cornell的WL转正了，但是Cornell今年实习情况很糟，70%的人没有找到实习，不知道前辈们有没有更多的消息关于Cornell和Umich这两个项目，心里70%偏Umich，30%偏Cornell。虽然Cornell是Ivy，但是读书不仅仅为名声，还为了能有个好结果。Umich这次实习的战绩是不是更多因为学校career service的帮助呢？

牛人啊楼上， CORNELL好像听说今年没大陆招人？？？

你这个一定要去cornell啊，比Umich要好不少

那里也是超过1半多的人找到intern了，你从哪里听到说就业不好的？

我认识里面一个在读的，FDU的数学本科，对那里的评价很不错的，他自己找到BOA的intern了

GD一个帖子上，一个Cornell的学生在3/20号说70%的人都没找到Intern，看得挺触目惊心的，其实Cornell这个项目去年是第一年延长到一年半，那个director虽然很努力在帮忙找Intern，但是今年行情不好，效果不大，觉得Umich有这样的成绩真的很不错

I don't know much about caceer support in other MFE programs but I think our career support from program director is just so so, I mean for internship. Our director did spread out our resume book, but it only works for relative small firms such as DTE Energy trading and risk management. As career service we really gain a lot from Ross School of Business: you can join their Finance and Investment clubs, try to contact Ross Alumni, ask MBAs for resume critique and do the mock interviews with successful MBAs.

To be honest, if you wanna become a quant, Cornell is really better than UMich MFE. Coz the MFE education here is not that quant focus, instead you have great flexibility for your course selections.

Your information about the internship placement this year matches what I heard. NYU, Columbia, Cornell, Princetion all did bad for the internship search this year. The only thing I think we did good this year is because we are very active for networking. However your 70% seems to be confusing coz I heard there are over 150 ppl in that program but only less than 30 ppl are in FE track(am I right?) thus is it for FE or MSE all together?

Overall I think Cornell is a great choice for you, if you wanna be a quant and if you wanna a job mainly in NYC area.

严重同意

Cornell did very well in internship this year, part of the reason is that they received a lot of support from their director...Our director seems pretty busy with something else...

谢谢各位的指点，我也在考虑中，咨询了一下我现在学校的一个街上回来的大牛，他倒是认为学校带来的区别已经不大了，关键还是看个人实力了。嗯，非常感谢几位Umich前辈的建议，非常中肯，客观。谢谢！

小弟我已經決定今年去UM了，可以請各位分享一下，如果希望一年後能找到INTERNSHIP的話，現在開始要做一些什麼努力呢?比方說在校GPA或是什麼其他特別的?
