Calling all Masters Applicants

Right there with you... Not applying to Duke, but applying to a whole waterfall of schools beginning December 1st. R1 for some, R2 for the others, since the revised GRE score reporting schedule pushed me back until November 17th.

Right now it's looking like:

MIT Princeton NYU LSE Oxford Columbia NYU-Poly USC Claremont McKenna U of Rochester Vanderbilt IIT

Still trying to scramble for some "safeties.." Seems hard to find safeties with a MFin program, especially. Good luck!

I am thinking of setting something up on my site so you guys can compare everyone's profile or get an idea of how competitive the years class is. Any interest?

Vanderbilt Villanova Boston College Tulane

Studying for the GMATs right now in between classes, hopefully will take it soon and get my applications submitted before the 2nd round.

ANT,

I'm ridiculously interested. As much as I really enjoy using Andy's application tracker on Quantnet, there's just not that many people attaching stats to their application status. At least, not enough people. Any idea when you'd be able to roll this out?

General Disarray,

I've been doing some serious thinking about Boston College, but I've been getting some mixed messages. Do they push for applicants with work experience or not? Formally, in the FAQ, they welcome recent undergraduates, but the class profile & the application process isn't all that encouraging. What do you think?

Anyone looking to apply to Villanova, please message me and we can talk.

@banawnaw - I am always thinking about ways to expand the MSF site and provide more info. I'll talk with Andy before I do anything similar to what he has been doing (out of respect).

As for Boston College, stay tuned to my site. I am talking with them now and should be posting some student reviews and updated class profiles.

Great! Looking forward to it. I will check back between frantic GRE study sessions.

ANT, I think you should find some way to group schools by location i.e. midwest, southeast, etc. I think location (where we want to work) really factors into our decisions when picking schools. This might help users learn about schools more efficiently.

A map with clickable regions that takes you to a list of schools in that area would be awesome as would an admissions probability calculator and free MSHQ boxers.

I could probably interface something with google maps and stuff. I am really pushing for more student reviews and stuff like that. Just added two Wake Forest reviews and have a couple UVA out. BC is in the works. That and I am going to put some money into a decent forum set up and re-roll that out. Too many Nigerian spammers killed the old forum (that and a lack of activity) .

For the record, I talked to someone from BC's career center, and he kept stressing how bad the placements were over there right now.

(Bump)

I'm sending out my first round of MAcc applications to

UT UIUC USC UMich Indiana

I've applied to LBS MiF in R2 and got shortlisted for the interview. Now waiting to receive interviewer's details... Time goes so slowly. Anyone got happy with LBS MiF in R1?

So far I only have an app out for UNC's MAC program. It's my top choice. Interviewed early January, I'm venturing to guess I'll know on Monday. The security deposit is due on the 27th for early admits, so that will tell them how many seats they have left.

If it doesn't work out... uhh, I guess I'll finish my Duke MMS app and Wake Forest MAC app. Really banking on UNC though, my GPA GMAT are both higher than average for the program and my interview went very well I think.

NM. Just got my acceptance email a few hours ago. I will definitely be matriculating there.
