Just thought I would translate the French post to English as I have a friend who's planning on studying an MBA/masters in France - his French is not great ..I mailed the orderings in the post French Rankings. For the financial markets, the MS of the ESSEC Financial Techniques are number one. Good luck. velkro Reply Quote Bip Bottom WildWarrior Junior Member Posts: 6 Joined: Mar 2002 Thursday March 13, 2003 09:51 AM, Hello Velkro Ouai thank you but you know I am in a dilemma because I know the DEA-MAsters footbridge very badly, I don't know how that works and there is a 3eme cycle of Trading also I believe that him is 5eme in your ordering, do you think koi?Aussi of it, do you know the criterias to be admitted in these schools??? Thank you for advance. WildWarrior PS you have make the essec? Reply Quote Bip Bottom Tomfr Member Posts: 58 Joined: Jan 2003 Thursday March 13, 2003 01:19 PM, hold, a small thread franchouillard, that makes pleasure... WildWarrior, I am in inverse stance: having made the Essec (the MBA, not the MS), I now move toward a DEA (after Science Po... nice cocktail!). As made it notice Velkro, the reputation of the MS of the Essec is not rather pain (the program is to the
http://www.essec.fr/ms/fr/mstf/obj.html address) but it is not certain that you benefit to full of this kind of formation as having made a DEA before: the courses will probably appear near enough to you, at least for the part matheuse. Of another side, the courses more "of opening" are assured by good profs. To note that orientations to the exit are only rarely "quants" to the sense of this forum: one is more in the mind of a DESS marks the 203. To my knowledge, he/it goes in the same way for the one of the ESCP, whose side matheux has seemed it been decreased since some years. By the way, if that is the 104 that you made, I am able to ask you for this that you made like formation before and this that you have thought some (the ESC who made it didn't appear to me wrapped....)?

Otherwise you see I think that for me to be as for c will be very hot parceque they are very selective and is necessary to be an engineer, I am it pas.Ouai otherwise give me some advice to optimize my odds for the Essec or ESCP. to go bye Wild Reply Quote Bip Bottom Tomfr Member Posts: 58 Joined: Jan 2003 Thursday March 13, 2003 07:53 PM, For the ESCP, I don't know the criterias too much makes to some... I believe that they are enough UK fashion", i.e. not pain on file. On the other hand, if the MS of the Essec is as the MBA, then the file and especially the interview must be made with a lot of natural and make take out again the "enthusiastic" side rather than "bookworm": the Essec doesn't work pain on "made" it, a few as for the stations of dirty in IB Good luck! ------------------------- ------------------- "Everything should be made simple ace has possible, goal not simpler"--Albert Einstein Reply Quote Bip Bottom velkro Member Posts: 29 Joined: Jan 2003 Saturday March 15, 2003 09:25 AM, Nope, I didn't make the Essec, but engineer's school. To answer you... if you made a DEA, I don't understand too pk you want to make a master. A DEA it is already a 3è cycle, for example, the English equivalent, it is the MPhil, cad the year according to the MSc while pursuing in the sense of the PhD. Then I will rather say: where you continuous two years to have a PhD, or you work: that depends what you want to make, but I don't see the interest too much accumulating the diplomas. Hope this will help Velkro Reply Quote Bip Bottom WildWarrior Junior Member Posts: 6 Joined: Mar 2002 Saturday March 15, 2003 11:31 AM, Hello Velkro I explain you my incentive to make a MAster after the DEA.Deja the market of work is not very good for the new graduates. Therefore I am myself say so much that has make, I will be able to continue to make a supplementary year in a school of trade kind Essec ECSP etc and in even time to specialize me more in the finance because the I make a DEA Eco currently and Fi has dauphine, c not of finance pain but good c more of the macrofinance if you voice what I also want dire.Mais for the notebook of address and also the radiance of the Essec has the étarnger.Tu see all these reasons motivate me but always it is necessary that I accept has the Essec. Otherwise thank you very khan for a lot of enlightenments.

Effectively, the directory of the Essec is rather a friendly tool (I know what I mean...) but the quants there extra is nevertheless rather little numerous all things considered. Side "radiance", not of pb in the R-U, but less true bcp to the CUSTOMS... for the meantime (AACSB "technique" obliges!)... Otherwise, friendly the 106? I intend to apply for next year in three or four DEA if I don't have a job in the exit, and I hesitate on to integrate the 106 to the list...

Wildwarrior, I already wrote then it several times in English why not once besides in French............. "Think out of the boxcalf" is I think what summarizes your problem. I made the DEA of Paris 6 in proba and I had made the one previously already Poncet in the Sorbonne. I think that it is stupid to delay his/her/its entry on the market of work because makes that of it is what the majority of people makes and finallement you see masses of people that are going to meet later. Then as one doesn't know if one is one lower of the crisis or only in direction of this lower......... It is this one names the "Flight to study" in relation with the "Flight to quality" that sees the investors reporter their preferences toward the rates of interests in relation to the actions. If your hesitation is relative to the fact that you think that you will have more easiness to be hired as As for me reassures you immediately you can remove yourself this idea of the head. Personally, I think that the people who head toward the profession of As for, CURRENTLY (précédement it doesn't have any report in term of requirements) are either ill-informed, stupid or have some reasons to feel on her (graduates school of engineers first rank, of preference X body + dea or thèses+stages confirmed). TO trial title compares the number of people that consults an offer or appears to the word as for or quantitative on wilmott and those that consult an offer more soft or appears to the word analyst only for example. There is not photo.......... One would say that everybody thinks that the finance passes by as for and that the finance sums up to as for. I had thought about one moment to make a scanner of an article named of As for finance quandary in the Risk magazine that already describes for 2001 the difficulties of the American students having gotten into debt to follow some master in Columbia and other and that met in fact on the Carpet. In france where this tendency to want to pass absolutely by math is worse (It is not a critique, I passed there also, it is a report). on Paris it is Currently even almost a tragedy. If one considers the leading formation that is the DEA of Nicole El Karoui for example one attends a surinflation of the size of the population of the DEA. Mrs. El Karoui doesn't even know what to do this promo. To such point that first in the history of the DEA they sent (her and two other professors) a mail to all persons responsible of banks to know what were their needs and their anticipations on their future recruitments! In answer to your question I think that only one alternative offers itself to you The Mastere while concentrating your argumentaire on the fact that your previous DEA was especially economy and that you only had an introduction to the finance that motivates you to deepen toward a mastere permitting to clear on a job! To title of J. info - P. INDJEHAGOPIAN that is a professor in the two formations DEA Paris 6 El Karaouis and Mastere Essec would have said personally that he saw his/its students of Paris 6 heading toward a wall seen the specialization of their formation and their apect too quant(notion to specify, in fact him under heard that certainly the mathematical aspect was excellent but too specialized, approximately that more of math would be necessary again to be as for..........). Here is I hope to have been brief enough. Of my personal experience HE/IT is WORTH to GO BETTER then once IN THE BANK gone back, to evolve in intern rather than to remain indefinitely on the key while trying to format itself/themselves in relation to a picture that one would have, of the necessary knowledge to be As for. As for represents in term of available places the equivalent of the tip of a pyramid and not his/her/its basis. In other words for a station of As for has hundred other possible stations in Bank. To you of find them! Reply Quote Bip Bottom Tomfr Member Posts: 58 Joined: Jan 2003 Wednesday March 19, 2003 04:51 PM (NEW!) enough agreement with this analysis... the pb is that on the land (forum use this morning to sciences po, with quite a lot of big banks and asset managers), they recognize them grandmas the situation as cata: you pronounce the word "use" (whatever the kind), they answer you "practicum", even though you already have 4 or 5 of them on your cv (and it is not only an observation perso). In fact, he/it is possible that this flight to school has the pb baffled only and even doesn't amplify it: instead of having a horde of bac+5 this year (type ingé, esc...), one is going to have a horde of phd in 3 / 4 years. But 1 / the situation will have same when presumably evolved until then and 2 / it is necessary when same to count with the baby boomers who are not going to linger to leave. On the aspect "as for more to the bip", I would relativize: I have the impression that the quants "developers / research... " are not too much sought-after but it is in my opinion less the case for the risk managers. Normal, in period of skinny cows (and a fortiori of scandals!), for lack of to make bring money in, one avoids that he/it leaves from it too much!! from that point of view, actuary's formation seems not to hurt wind in stern and, to have had Indje' in progress, this last is implied very in the path of the ISUP. to summarize, the only true solution seems the restriction of the requirements this year: either one takes stations once acquired to the baccalaureate + 4 / 5 "of basis" (it is the principle of the iterative coming down of the requirements) either it is necessary to opt for complementary formations rather than excessively specializing, in vogue to one moment but forsaken after: a good old 203 for example
