Hi;I am currently working as Senior Software Engineer in USA.My profile is 1. BE Computer Engineering from University of Mumbai, India (First class)2. Masters in computer science from CSU,Chico USA , GPA 3.97/4.003. CFA level 2 candidate.4. 2.5 years software design/development work exp. in C++.I am looking for applying for Msc Financial Mathematics at1. Imperial College2. London School of Economics3. Warwick University.Is my profile suitable enough for these colleges. Are there any other better colleges in UK , which provide Masters course in Financial Mathematics or Financial Engieering. Can some one help me with providing listing of colleges which provide courses in Financial Mathematics with their ranking.Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.Thanks,Vikash

I would not let you in. CFA is not going to help. You are an IT guy.But then again, isn't the point that if you pay you can get into most of those Mscs these days? Different for PhDs where there is less money to be made for the institution?Cheers,Sig

Hi sigmaPi;So what profile usuallly gets you into these courses ? Is this the case with these colleges or all colleges who offer Financial Mathematics courses ?Vikash

I am not really qualified to talk about this but I have not been rejected from any MSc course (I applied for 4 different schools) although I am thick as can be (as you can see from my posts on this board). As long as you pay it is their pleassure to accommodate you (most of the time anyway). Different story if you are hoping for a scholarship.And another story again if you are going for a PhD slot.Cheers,Sig

Hi sigmaPi, can you tell me which colleges did you apply for, I hope you applied for Financial Mathematics ....... and some basica idea about your backround if you applied for financial mathematics ,, just to get rough idea ? Thanks,Vikash

Hello Sig, I was wondering the same thing said in the previous post: what's your background like (I do hope this is not too personal), how good were your essays, and do you have any advice/ideas for me: I am a fresh college graduate with a BS in Physics and Math, loads of research/internships (all in Physics/Chemistry and Math); some programming experience with C/C++, Java and Fortran. By the way, I plan on applying to MFE programs. Which do you think my best bets are?QuoteI am not really qualified to talk about this but I have not been rejected from any MSc course (I applied for 4 different schools) although I am thick as can be (as you can see from my posts on this board).
