Tomorrow's decision deadline. Good luck!
Thanks NewinTown...did u apply to vandy too?
Yes, I did. Interviewed with them a couple of weeks ago.
Good luck to you too then
I just found out that I am accepted to the 2011 Vandy MSF on my application website. I was anxious to find out, so I checked online and there is a brief message saying that I'm in. No emails yet, so I guess I still have to wait on the official word.
By the way, I interviewed during discover weekend too. I probably met you there
Hey thanks for the info...even am IN :)))) as per the website...but no official email yet...but I guess I can start celebrating...so are you accepting it?
I'm not sure yet. I also got accepted to Tulane, Washington University, and I am awaiting decisions from BC and London School of Econ. So, I have a lot of thinking to do.
Dude, I would run, not walk to WUSTL. Best ROI of all schools. In full disclosure, I'm applying to both Vandy and LSE, but in different rounds, so I'm not deliberately trying to misinform you. I'd apply to WUSTL, but FIN Eng isnt my thing- and I'm likely not quant-focused enough.
Btw, you must be the most intelligent person in Covington. Haha, I'm LA raised myself, and I'm a little startled to see someone with your profile. Very impressive.
Thanks for the compliment! I am actually beginning to lean towards the WUSTL program. I wasn't necessarily looking for Fin Eng either. But, nterestingly enough, I had a Skype call yesterday with the academic director of a new CorpFin and Investments MSF track at WUSTL and I was accepted into the inaugural class (30 students) of the new program. Its still pretty quant, but not quite engineering. It will be hard to turn down after the conversation we had. He was a great salesman, lol.
Good luck to you with your apps!
Congratulations, guys!
I wanted to chime in with some thoughts, because I also got accepted into both WUSTL and Vanderbilt this week.
Like you guys, I was reluctant to apply to WUSTL, because it seemed more like an MFE program, but I'm glad that I did, because the new corporate finance & Investments track is more what I would expect a MSF program to be. I suspect that I talked to the same gentleman that you did, bbrupbacher, but I walked away with the impression that the new corpfin track would not be very quantitative at all. At least when you compare it to their new Quantitative Finance track, with the future financial engineers.
I'm not sure how quantitative WUSTL's new corpfin track will be compared with Vanderbilt or Boston College, but now that they made the two tracks, there should definitely be no mistaking which one is the MSF and which one is the MFE.
Were you accepted into the CorpFin track or the Quant track?
The director of the program assured me that it would be pretty quantitative. Nothing on an engineering level, but still pretty quant compared to some broad based MSF programs. WUSTL has a good rep for that stuff, so I think it will be a good mix. I am looking to get into equity research or IB analysis, so I am very interested. I am going to visit the campus and faculty at the end of the month.
BUT... I just got my official Vandy letter and they are offering me a $15k scholarship. I don't want to make my decision based on price, but ROI is a big deal and that money makes a big difference. I am torn now. Any advice out there?
Curious about your stats if you are comfortable sharing.
Speaking with the program director for WUSTL's Corp Fin MSF the other day I got the strong impression it'd be a good program for IB interests. Additionally, he did say that it would definitely still be strongly quantitative and would be good for those interested in trading.
Hey there guys. Congrats! I also got in Vandy, Tulane and UIUC. I applied to WUSTL but didn't receive a response yet (deadline is April 1st). I applied to all of them on the second round. I wonder when you all got a response from WUSTL?? 'Cause I'm so eager to know whether I will get in or not so I can make my choice between them! Again, congratulations to all of us and I wish us all the best, no matter where we end up going to! :)
Anyone has any piece of advice to help me pick my school? I've been having a really hard time doing my pros/cons list!
Congrats everybody
Anyone attending Vandy's welcome weekend? or Villanova's? Been accepted to both. Anyone have any help there? They'll end up being the same price as it stands now..
