Standard Mathematical Finance program > MS&E program
later program is mainly for engineering students who wants a management role in a tech or bio or healthcare company, some of them indeed work in Finance although. Not knowing for sure, but this program is relatively easier to get in for fresh-out undergraduates major in science and engineering. Personal opinion: Dartmouth's MS&E is better than this one. You may want to check its curriculum to confirm, but I doubt this is a good program if you want to work in Finance.

看过课表了
也算是典型的金工课程吧
OR分类下的课尤其多
risk/finance/OR 三个方向下的课程我觉得都还不错
供应链管理和战略之类的东西我就不考虑了，与我无关
我个人觉得看起来还是蛮实用的，只是专业名让我很纠结啊
大S的金数竞争据说尤其激烈，学生质量好是肯定的，不过这家我看过以往录取学生的背景，水准也都不低啊

Big cong！如果以后要回国的话，读硕士主要还是考虑“镀金”效果啊。Stanford这个牌子就是金子招牌。

So you have taken Dartmouth instead for Stanford? Are you sure? =)

我的确是这么考虑的，感觉国内的人听到大H大S大Y这些学校都会收到光环效应的影响
只是我想知道这个项目真的是那么不适合在美国发展么？ 感觉准备留美的人对它评价都不高

诺之诺

The placement of this program is good. But everyone I know from that program who gets good job in IBD/PE/MC HK is either from elite US undergrad like Stanford or Yale, or Chinese Top 2 undergrad.  Not sure about the add-on value of this program.

我本科也是中国的TOP2~
请问哪里能看到这个专业的去向的资料呢
特别是大陆本科过去的国际学生的去向~

Not sure. All my friends. One grad (from tsinghua) is now my coworker.

Slightly better than CU OR but definitely not a good choice to stay in US. Dartmouth has better reputation (and alumni base) in wall street than Stanford, in terms of IBD. S&T/Quant may prefer Stanford.

You don't get to judge a program before you do your homework! You don't even know what M&E is at Stanford! Don't mislead those students here who trust you!
The program at Dartmouth is MEM, namely engineering management. However, MS&E is a department at Stanford, whose OR is ranking NO.1 in US! There're undergrads, masters, and phds at MS&E. It is like the IEOR at Columbia, ORIE at Cornell, ORFE at Princeton, and it is stronger than those other departments in some areas. And unlike Columbia, who takes in hundreds of masters in 4 or 5 programs each year, only around 150 masters are enrolled at Stnaford. MS&E's curriculum can be tailored to be like an MEM, but I am sure it can also be tailored to be like Financial Engineering. And some students stay at Stanford to pursue a PhD.
Remember, only 5 cores and 4 electives are required to choose from the department, out of the 15 courses in total.
LZ is right. The only problem is the name and its differentiation among the graduates.

之前和一个phd insider聊了一会
按他的话说这个Program在finance industry还是很有名望的
而且Location discrimination也并不是大家想的那样，影响比较小
这两天还要去见一个这个program出来的本科前辈，现在已经在国内某大行的IBD了，我去咨询咨询经验
P.S: 我发现这个论坛上除了P.M这样的项目还真没有人没批评过的 ╮(╯▽╰)╭
