<p>yea...many masters programs in quant finance require you to have a pretty quant heavy undergrad major....I looked up the jobs that students in NYU's Masters in Mathematical Finance got..most of em are working as derivatives/quantitative trading positions....from what I hear, they're pretty highly paid</p>

So it seems like most of you don't have NYU as your first choice.

</p>
<p>Haha. ^_^'' It's true. It was never my first choice.</p>
<p>Nah, NYU's always been my first choice. :)</p>
<p>That's always a good thing ;)</p>
<p>Grats :)</p>
<p>Hey, we're both from Texas!</p>
<p>Haha, howdy! Which school did you apply to? I'm definitely attending the Gallatin reception, though I'm using this month's work money to afford visiting and staying in NYC for the weekend; it's worth it.</p>
<p>I'll go if these two things happen:</p>
<ol>
<li>Columbia rejects me.</li>
<li>The financial aid department doesn't screw me over.</li>
</ol>
<p>1 is a near certainty, though I still have my fingers crossed for the contrary. As for number 2...well...</p>
<p>most of the people at NYU masters of finance are geniuses. if you look at their stats, they pull of like a 3.9 gpa at a school like MIT where i know people with 2400 SATs/ ranked #1 in their high school get Cs. So it is no free lunch and undergraduade is very superficial due to liberal art requirments eating up courses</p>
<p>lol, i looked at their stats, most of them are from asia or europe..but yea, they were pretty much geniuses</p>
<p>Same for me salamander. I applied to CAS ham. Got into GSP. -_-</p>
<p>NYU was my top choice...until I got accepted by NU.</p>
<p>NYU isn't at the top of my list, so I guess I am going to wait for all the other universities to get back to me before making the decision. Still thrilled I got admitted though! :D</p>
<p>NYU is my top choice and I will go unless I get no aid. My ideal situation is me getting 10,000 per year, making the tuition about 40,000 per year, then I have to convince my parents to scrap the housing, making the tuition less than 30,000, let me move to NY with a roomate, try to find an apartment in BK or Queens where I'll split the rent $700 per month and work my ass off every fing day at Jamba Juice while going to class and doing stuff.</p>
<p>So far, USC is my top choice right now, unless I somehow get into those ultra reaches I applied to: Stanford, Yale, Columbia. xD</p>
<p>i got like no aid at all. i got 2k from stern and the rest 51k, i only have been given loans</p>
<p>Are you serious? Only 2k?! What was your EFC? Mine is 12k.</p>
<p>lol 2k???????? that's nothing!</p>
<p>i think like 43k or somthing</p>
<p>Oh...well...that's different. xD</p>
<p>It was. Now it's officially a "Hell No."</p>
