<t>Hey,I have home units in ISyE. Let me tell you this much. It does not matter at all once you are in. Core curriculum is the same, and electives that you can chose, well, anyone from any department can chose almost anything he/she desires. So don't even worry about that question. Chosing a home un...

<t>Hey guys,I'm in the program right now...I got my offer last year through the mail (is this what is mean by snail mail (it makes sense)?), not e-mail. Even if you are not offered financial aid, I advise you, if you have decided to go to GT, to visit the campus and try talking to several department...

<t>Hey there,I hope I didn't come out sounding too much like an asshole. Anyways, have you taken the financial econometrics course yet? I was looking at cross-registering and taking that in the fall. Could you PM me with class-specific links that give course contents, etc...I was thinking of perhaps...

<t>Ummm, I still don't think you know what you are talking about...I took the class.......we talked about the binomial model for a bit more than 1 class lecture. Other than that, we covered many other topics (we used Ross's "Probability Models" and Neftci's "An Introduction to the Mathematics of Fin...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: kuirulHi, I personally know the curruculum very well. I don't know the placement. The currulum is like a cocktail. They are not mathematially oriented. The financial engineering I covers only the binomial model. The interest rate courses covers the book by robert jarrow...

I am so jealous that you guys get admits to places like that...let's just hope that I can build my credentials to one day get into an ivy league mba program!

Just wanna create a soup of creativity...and add something to the list of "how many ..."How many quants would it take to change a lightbulb ???

<t>Where are you right now in your Ph.D. track? Depending on where you stand, you could perhaps quit the Ph.D., get the MFE degree from Columbia, and then apply to another Ph.D. program that will take most of your credits, so that way, you'll not lose much of what you've accomplished. It may not end...

Thanks for the book suggestion. It's a relatively inexpensive book, so I will give it a try! Any more specific ideas anyone might have?

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: madmaxAnother way, cannot you take one year off your PhD and go back to it after the MSc ?This sounds like a very good idea! Taking a year off and completing the MFE degree will let you sorta kill two birds with one stone. Assume this to be a round stone, and letting th...

<t>Hello forum,I'd appreciate any comments and suggestions, especially from the senior members. For my Data Mining class, we have a term project. I'd like to gear it towards something quant-related. I'd really really really appreciate suggestions on cutting-edge topics, ideas, data mining methodolog...

What does an averaged spread graph of Ph.d. salary vs. M.S. salary in the field look like??? That would be interesting to know

Georgia Tech has one too, in the French building right next to the football stadium

<t>Maybe it's just that I am a slower learner, but clear me up on this...There is so much to learn in Financial Math, that it seems to be rushing too much to complete a program such as this in a year or less. Unless one holds another M.S. degree, and has a lot of previous knowledge of the stochastic...

You really think it's that bad uh?
