So far, I've come up with Spread Risk, Default Risk, Event Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Counterparty Risk, Housing Price Risk, Recovery Risk, and Liquidity Risk. Is this a mutually exclusive yet comprehensive list? I would ap...

That sounds great. I hope this continues for the sake of incoming students. Would you know if anyone has been hired in investment banking? Also, what are the starting salary ranges for those without full time prior work experience?

Does anyone know the registration procedures/schedule for this summer? I emailed Jenny and she said that they'll take care of it. Does this mean they'll be the ones to register for me?

<t>QuotePutting it in another way, we are paying the school for the education, the diploma, and the opportunities upon graduation, not for babysitting us, making sure all our needs are taken care of, and making us really happy. If we wanted all that, we'd have to pay bschool tuition.Aren't we paying...

<t>QuoteAh...good question. Unfortunately, I have no idea who that person is. In fact, there might not be a person, just an algorithm. Sorry, if there was a shortcut to this, I would of told you long time ago. Has anyone complained/lobbied and then was assigned housing? I think you can see that I'm ...

<t>QuoteYour suspicions are correct. Actually, it's not even SEAS, it's IEOR. UAH assigns limited housing to each division of every school, IEOR included. So if IEOR only gets X number of spots on campus and has to face demand from Y students (undergrad + grad + phd), guess who gets to be the bottom...

<t>QuoteDespite paying as much tuition as the MBAs do, we are not getting as much prioritization in housing (as well as other things). I'll say we're screwed... just kidding... ...

What happens if by the start of class I don't have housing yet?I'm trying to look for housing via craigslist. However, most places require people to be in New York so they can look ...

How important is Matlab at the MS FE program at Columbia? Would you need to know a lot of the functions or would you just be using the basic stuff? Would there be Matlab programming?

<t>QuoteYes, people were offeresed housing for september but you shouldn't count on it. Though I'd agree getting a sublet for the summer is a much better idea than praying for a spot from the housing office. It's not just MSFE students, it's pretty much all students. We aren't PhDs who contribute in...

<t>QuoteI am from "other countries" In fact, applying from Shanghai, I was as far from new york as you could get on this planet, still nothing turned up. As far as I know, nobody got summer housing right away. International students don't have any advantage since they pretty much make up the whole c...
