Hi Wiener, What do you want to know re: IIT?

Croesus, I just wanted to know how good the program in IIT is and whether any from the forum one has studied from there !!! One thing for certain it has the advantage of being located at the derivatives hub of the world. Thanks

"Could someone be more precise to explain the difference between MS in Fin and in Quant Fin please ?"As it sounds: quant finance is more quantitative. Think Calc I versus PDE's. Look at the course titles and descriptions on some of the school's websites.

Hi Wienner,if you have found out anything about the MS fin programs at IIT, wd you know which program has better placements? the MS finance is offered by Stuart while MS in fin mkts by the CLFM. intuitively wd Stuart have a better placement system?~pyramaniax.

Are there actually any rankings for MS Finance / MS Quant Fi programs in the USA?as i am not sure whether my choice for IIT's MS program is any good .is Stuart School a decent school to take up the MS programme? in terms of reputation and course.

2 pyramaniaxHave a look at City University in London (MSc in Mathematical Trading and Finance):Right in the middle of the CityVery good programThey have their own dealing room ) I did my MBA there and I was pleasantly surpriced by their level. Regards MSc in Mathematical Trading and Finance

This is my first quarter here at IIT in the Finance program (Fall 03). So far it sucks. The professors don't really seem to care about the classes and teach at a very subpar level. They took in too many people into the program this year and even waived some foreign students Toeffel exam by making them pay and take an English course the first quarter. So far, the people behind the IIT Finance program are money hungry people, just taking in random people. I bet you if a bum from Union Station, he could get in if he were willing to pay. If you are bright and did really well on the GMAT like I did, do not make the same mistake by coming here.Unless you aren't that good or messed up undergrad, this program might be good for you. You might learn English. Otherwise, don't waste your $$ and time no matter how much scholarship they offer you.
