I'm a current student at Stanford MSFM program. Last year I got offer from NYU CMU and Stanford. If you let me choose again, I will still choose Stanford. 1 MSFMat Stanford is a small program,with less competition. With Stanford's reputation, you can get even more interviews than CMU or NYU student. cuz there are only less than 15 persons competing with you at Stanford MSFM. In NYU or CMU, you will be faced with competition with 30 or 80 persons and many of they have had several years full time experience. 2 Once you get the interview, whether you can get a offer is totally dependent on you own knowledge or your preparation. It has nothing to do with what's your program. The interviewer only care about your own ability, not where you come from. 3 Do not believe the statistical result of each program. It stands for nothing. And as far as I know, until now, students from CMU who have got summer intern offer are mostly those who have full time experience before. So it really doesn't matter which program you choose. The key is you try your best to prepare for interview and perform your best in the interview. I choose Stanford is simply because I want to meet different people here, not just business guys. And now I know lots of guys who are passionate about starting their own businesses here. You can see and feel the unique entrepreneurs spirits at Stanford. -- by 会员 soulofloving (2012/2/23 16:48:32)
