AD@ NYU financial math

Psychohistory

courant is definitely not nr1 math. depart. in US... where is MIT/Harvard/Princeton?
finance - NYU is definitely not one of the top schools... For IBD, you have Wharton/Columbia/Chicago on the graduate level, for quant/trading you have MIT/Stanford/Princeton/Chicago. Undergraduate wise we are talking HYPSMW.

the program is okay, worse placements than berkeley and cmu. (Stanford doesnt disclose their placements, but the brand name will get you anywhere) Check the students resumés, you will not be many students going for BB. Most of them went to MM shops doing quant works - not to mention becoming a trader.

The school is overall okay and It's a good program, if you don't have other choices and don't hate coding, take it.

如果我们真的是HYP本科出来的，就不会申什么MFE了。。。申的都是希望通过读个Master来镀个金的。NYU的placement并不比Berkeley和CMU差，Stanford肯定比这三所要差。到最后找工作还是看这个项目的Career Service。Courant积极地帮助学生找工作，而且还争取到了一些Stern的支持。

别的不说，单说有多少人是打算以后回亚洲的，又有多少人不在乎亚洲声誉的

NYU在亚洲没声誉吗？ 笑话

跟常青藤大概是差很多吧？

NYU声誉不错 在亚洲可以找出一堆杰出校友
综排不高 是因为没有理工科
STERN商排前10 金融系排名前3
楼主你去对地方了 羡慕啊！

综合排不高应该不是因为没有理工科。人家美国人可不像天朝的排名一样，排名要又大又全。Caltech，MIT这些学科极其精简的学校，以及一些很小的LAC都排很前。主要原因是NYU本身的reputation没有建立起来，而reputation这个东西不是一天两天能建立起来的，要靠好几代校友的表现。可是这个项目本身肯定是最top之一的。

哎，听中介说NYU是截止日期左右集中审的。2月初才申请。。。哎。。。忽然觉得。。有点||

不是二月初才截止么？那就是一个batch吧

呵呵，都忘了cong LZ一下了~~多希望能做校友~虽然我了解的不算多，但NYU的项目怎么也是tier1的，如果打算留在美国发展几年，我觉得这个项目值得去啊。

Sorry I do have to disagree with you, at least to a certain extent.
For placement, there are four factors, the rate, the job, the company, the pay. Fill me in with more then we can extend the discussion.

The rate is comparably the same for all three I guess, Berkley would come first, CMU/NYU is on par.

The job, well, if we are looking for quants, then NYU would come before both berkley and CMU. They do place people into MM quant positions as I said. But the more prestigious title is trader, and perhaps even some tail risk within IBD. Last time I checked, didn't see many trading related job on their last year resumes.

The company. Stanford/CMU/Berkley have people going for GS/MS and the other BB:s. Even some hedgefund in a good year with good people. This don't happen to NYU, where the students are heading for MM shops...  

The pay. No doubt that We have Berkley > CMu > NYU. Stanford is unknown.

Lastly some comments regarding Stanford. Take a look at their students. They are all genius in math. These profiles are not as   diverse as Princeton / MIT profiles. But the students are definitely on par with P/M when it comes to previous credentials.  Some of them even trumps the average Princeton profile. With the brand name of Stanford on your resumé, I'm pretty sure Stanford trumps NYU in pretty much everything, perhaps not amount of quants though.

Brand name wise. If you did go to HYPWSM for undergraduate, you don't want NYU. If you didn't go to HYPWSM, you want HYPWSM for master.

just my 2 cents.

原来NYU的人是要去MMshop的啊...好害怕。。。。

哇，围观~

何以见得？p竞争丝毫不亚于nyu,columbia显然不如p

这个绝对是扯淡，P也就跟Columbia争一下，S还不如，距离NYU的档次差太远。

据NYU 的一位Applied Math PHD(曾经是某著名IB MD)说，NYU financial math 相当不错，当然五大MFE还是P\S最好。它家Applied Math 最N，基本年年第一。

恭喜

还不错的项目

不过NYU不行，几十名后的大学了，回亚洲名气也不行

这位兄台，内个我，无语了。。。
