<p>I want to get a Masters in Fin. Eng. from one of these grad schools. Would going to either of their undergrad schools help me get into their grad program? Also, I know Cornell is fine with nearly any math-heavy major getting in, but what about CMU?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>is that a one year Meng or a two year MS? If its an Meng if you go Cornell for undergrad your basically guaranteed to be able to do the Meng their.</p>
<p>It is a 3-semester program?</p>
<p>The Master of Engineering in Operations Research(basically financial engineering) is a 2 semester program, but they also have a 2 year program(I assume 4 semester, not sure though could use summers) that gives you an Meng in OR and an MBA, I assume that is more competitive to get into though.</p>

<p>This is what I am talking about. If I go undergrad in CoE at Cornell. Am I pretty much in here? I am confused. Thanks.</p>
<p>bump?..</p>
<p>That seems to technically be a concentration within the Operations Research Meng though it seems to pretty much be its own program with rigid course requirements but I assume any Cornell Engineering undergrad that meets some minimum gpa requirement and has the prerequisites can do it though I could be wrong. I know for the mechanical and electrical Meng programs most cornell engineering undergrads can get into them with no issue where as students from other colleges actually need to apply and have a strong record, don’t really know anything about the orie department which that program is under though.</p>
<p>I think the financial engineering is the toughest to get into, even for Cornell students. A lot of Cornell students who stay for the meng do it in ORIE (financial engineering as one of the concentrations). </p>
<p>for cornell vs. CMU, I think Cornell has an advantage because you spend one semester (of the 3) in NYC.</p>
<p>I agree with the semester in NYC being an important factor.
If it helps, I am specifically talking about a Comp. Sci. major.
So is the consensus that it would help getting in the Fin. Eng. for someone who has already attended Cornell?
It is a confusing scenario ;p</p>
