PIMCO cofounder is from UCLA...

honestly i don't remember. I am a banking guy and just went there to 打酱油... i personally know one of the four guys, who was an ex-DB trader going to portfolio management.

Frankly I am surprised UCLA MFE sends so many people to PIMCO. My personally know more than a dozen people from several much better ranked MFE programs and they struggle to find even less prestigious jobs.

Not sure what roles the UCLA guys are hired into at PIMCO. It could be that MFE is indeed a better program for certain roles at top buyside shops? Or maybe there are really some superstars in MFE programs?  I haven't done the homework so I would not comment here. Anyway MFE vs MBA is not even an apple-to-apple comparison to start off with.

I don't intend to hijack the thread so I will stop replying.

@morningglory23, congrats on your offer! Greetings from the Class of 2012. Rest assured you are in for an extremely rewarding two years of experience

Bill Gross 就是UCLA的嘛。当年朱长虹为首的，还有一大拨芝加哥大学的。不过总体来说，UCLA在LA的校友势力不可小觑，尤其南加的VC/PE, HF。

各位前辈，我想问一下，如果申请了学校，没有拿到奖学金，但又很想去这个学校，可以明年再接着申请看看能不能拿到奖学金吗（经济条件有限）？
