Yes, I got admission into UMich's FE program too (long time back in Feb) but I decided to Cornell's Applied OR program as of right now and am on their waiting list for FE option. Tell me if you have any other option(s) than UMich, not to say UMich is bad.PM me for more questions.

cedilydan,In what other programs did you get admitted to?

I got rejected at NYU last week. I got an email saying to look for other programs as they would not explicity say that "hey, you got rejected". Good luck for those who are "STILL" waiting.

alokem, Check your PM (private message).

Thanx randomax.Any more advice by others...

<t>I want to do a summer intern (this summer 2005) at Wall st. Is it too late right now to find an internship or should I try looking for any?

The reason its not a good option is that the Applied OR's semester project is from a manufacturing firm. Not of my interest...

IF you have talent then you will be sure able to get into one of the good quant programs later. First, save money. This money with interest can easily pay off your grad school if you choose to go to one.

Check your PM.

none for any. By financial aid, I hope you mean grants.I have to take loans to whatever program I go. So money wise all are same, relatively.

<t>Hi all, I got into Cornell's MEng program but they didn't give me the FE option. Instead they asked me if I want Applied operations research option. I am not knowing what to do since the Applied OR option would allow to take the courses that FE guys take but the projects (usually 6-8 months) woul...

But wouldn't that be too long before we submit the enrollment form for other universities. What if we get rejected?

I just wanted to know if firms take interns in fall. I have heard of it but am not completely sure. I am pretty sure that the number of fall interns are not as high as summer hires but can anyone tell me if it is (if enough effort is put) easy to get an internship for fall.
