Sorry fishingirl, I only can apply for MSF or MSC because of my weak Math bg. I graduated form a Finance program at a Canadian university, so I am not good in Math, unlike you.

But be careful, you'd better talk to someone graduated from FE or current in this kind of programs. Sometime, the brighter career perspective is just a big rumor. I just talked with a student from UIUC a week ago. I didn't hear anything making me excited.

Revalue these programs and future career before make a decision. If 50,000 USD is not important to you or your family, just go ahead. Othervise, you need to balance, and hedge your risk. To choose a program is much like to pick up a stock. It is very risky. Try to diversify your risk. Ask yourself " Are there any option, future, forward, swap, or index fund, or portfolio I can choose." A lot of students got very dispointed after they arrived here. A degree means nearly nothing today. However, if you are really a fan of finance or a genius, please forget what i said, and forgive me. For the normal people, life is real.

I've heard about some down sides of the MSc Financial Engineering these days. However, if I want to land a job in the Street after graduation as a CHINESE student, should the MFE still be the best qualification that I should pursue? Or the MFE as a $50k investment just means nothing and rewards me a below-the-average return? Because you have a friend from UIUC which I plan to apply this fall, I will appreciate it if you can tell me more information about the job displacement this year in that program.

我现在的ROOMMATE就是FINANCIAL ENGINEERING,一年半念下来确实很辛苦,两个月前毕业,现在一边找工作,这种专业通常男生有优势,一到GROUP PROJECT全盘任务就委托给男生了,不是女生懒惰,而是实在不会做.当然大家都是中国人还比较能理解,碰到美国人肯定不干.到目前为止,他们一起毕业的2人找好了工作,(共十几个中国人)其余人还在找,有的干脆住到NEW YORK去找.

Glad to meet someone from Michigan here. I've heard about that the most prestigious IBs go your school to hire gradutes every year because the MFE there is among the best, is that true? And how about the final job displacement that year? Did most of the chinese students in that program secure a position in NYC?

I think the reason that most prestigious IBs go to michgan is Ross Business School not MFE.Compared with Ross,MFE is so small,and mfe is not the main stream in USA,it just a main stream for the indian and chinese.

感觉上GRE申请Finance相关的专业会好的多，貌似除了BC的MSF指名要GMAT之外，GRE通吃的~~
