You have quite valid concerns and I am not in the program so I can't answer them . What i say is based on what i hear from when I meet the students of the program. OR is a diverse field and so are its placements... from facebook to paypal to Goldman to AIG.... and the others that has been...

Going by your logic no one should join any program that's not on QN top 10. Reason it is not there is that it is an Operations research program and not FE program.

If you have not already , please go through https://www.quantnet.com/threads/few-clarifications-regarding-columbia-msor.13169/#post-110059 I don't have any idea about UCLA, but one thing that I know is Columbia MSOR has good reputation and placements plus the Ivy league brand name. I would...

Advait : I am a Columbia student ( though not MSOR), will graduate in May and I am about to join a NY based CTA. I am from India and the students that I talked about having multiple offers are all Indians on F-1 visa. So, I don't think what OP posted holds only for US citizen or green card...

after attending an ivy league...why did you even consider baruch...

All bottles numbered using binary digits.Assign each mice to one of the binary flags. 1024 bottles can be tested.

Actually I also sent the same concern to the moderator of that group but he said that it's like Columbia Mafn (joining) 2012 :) ...Definitely on the lines of last year's group ...Columbia University M.A in Mathematical Finance class of 2013 would have been a better option

Or to be more successful buy high and sell higher.....trying to buy low can kill you :)

It's not a micro phenomenon rather a systemic one... During tough times all good programs have difficulties ...... Also its not the placement per se but the quality of placement that matters.
