Lets conclude.. How did the rankings help people?

Guys, leave the Baruch ranking. Look at the other ranks.. I really wish Andy could put up the raw data.

Cass Business School MTF Already have a job and could be shifting from India to London and do part-time for a year and then continue fulltime. Do you think its a good idea to work while studying something like the MTF?

Sure. CAS Degree transcripts & Degree Certificate Bank statements if you deposit money in a bank. Thats it for me! It differs for different people.

Thank you all.. I got it cross confirmed from some other source...

Hi, Could someone please share their details. Would be really helpful. Thanks and warm regards, Hari

The FII flow has cut back, obviously it would, increase in repo means there will be less money in the market. If there is less money in the market then there will be less FII investment.. http://www.indiainfoline.com/MarketStatistics/FII-Activity

:) Its pretty obvious that rise in fuel prices will increase the living expenses thus affecting the inflation. From my experience and also an excerpt from FT "F+F (food and fuel), which are acting like BFFs, are rapidly rising in expense and as these commodities are so fundamental to...

woah 75 bps! Also recently the petrol prices were increased by INR 5. I don't get it, 2 weeks back they increase the repo rates to dip the inflation and now they increase the petrol prices? I cook and I bought 100 grams of cumin seeds for $1!!! money is seriously losing its value.....

Hi all, A specific question to Andy. Is there a QuantNet app for Android in development? Because there will be plenty of android users and its almost impossible to 'feel' the QuantNet on a mobile's brower. Regards, Hari

Thank you @Tsotne

could someone recommend a nice book that covers Economics as a whole please. A single book hopefully

Do people still appreciate if a person has the BB logo on his/her resume? In my organisation, the interviewers LOL if they see the BB logos on resumes

As big baddie mentioned, increase in lending rates, people will borrow less, hence spending decreases, they will save more thus reducing the demand and hence getting control over inflation but it takes time. This is my knowledge so far.

I hope this answers the question

I got mine today :D signed by Dan himself.. The joy of smelling a new book along with that the autograph by the author himself :)

I am so very eager to read your famous text Dan, but I don't even know where my copy is :(

I have ordered mine, not even an email that says "we have received your order and it's being processed" or "your book has been shipped".. nothing... . I followed up, no response.... bad tracking system..

What makes IITs different is the people who get in and how they get in. The IITJEE is one of the toughest exams to crack. IITs don't build students, students build IITs.

Thats why this post is "off topic" mate, relax. Another incidence, my friend once told me that he had a teacher in his primary school who taught general science or something. She read from the textbook "Animals have fur to protect themselves from chill" and she made actions of a flying Eagle...

But times are changing, we have very few sensible ministers and one of them is Kapil Sibal. Do read this, http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_banish-rote-learning-test-intellect-kapil-sibal-s-new-mantra_1331791

@bigbaddie: Although being an Indian, I support you because you speak the truth here.

bansal and arjun, grow up guys.. What he has posted is a fact..

@bigbad: Very true indeed. The Indian education system is based on how you rote the curriculum. From my batch, the Gold medalist is still unemployed.

Is there a none option?

@lonely: yes, bcos i wanted to know what the reality is.. to understand why i failed to secure a seat and learn from the failure.. And good that you know about VTU and I too know abt VTU compared to other colleges.. Regards, Hari

Thank you Williams.

@AWilliams: I will mail you the curricula, could you give me the email address? I don't want to drag the conversation off topic on in this thread. Regards, Hari

@prateek: Yes I agree to some of your points here. You are from IIT and yes IIT is the *best* in India but I donno how the syllabus is over there. If you compare the state level universities, out of the states present in India, I made a comparision of the CSE syllabus with the other univs not...

@Ryan: Don't be over smart here.. I dont need to prove a point here to you.. I speak the truth and truth only.. With Warwick, I sent them around 6 emails and then they said I dont have a pure maths background With Kings, its after I reapplied, they gave me the same reason in the online system...

@Paul: I am just stating the reasons that they gave me. You may be having a different profile than what i have, geographically things may differ, education systems may differ, colleges may differ, hence i think its totally unbiased for you to set a benchmark upon a single example of yours...

@Paul: I dont understand why do they absolutely need a pure maths undergrad degree... Our maths syllabus is much more tougher and advanced than a BSc Maths degree..... CASS, yes, but what about the job prospects, does it have a good placement history?

@darth: They emailed me..

Domini and BBW could you please comment, I need your valuable comments on this one.

@darth: I am aware about the new immigration law and I have planned something for the same but its a calculated risk.

Hello experts, Need your help one last time. I got an offer from Cass in MSc Math. trading and Fin. I have spoken to a few people regarding the course. They say its tough to get into this and its a rigorous program which I like. Experts, could you please shed more light on this course. I would...

Time to head to the US?

@Ekta: I am talking about Msc in Mathematical and Computational Finance at Oxford. They ask for two 2000 word essays along with an exercise which we have to solve. And Ekta, you got into Imperial I believe? Could you please share your me your profile? So that I can match the same and see where...

@Ekta: Haan, I didn't want to take any chances. Hence took backup plans in the worst case. Regarding Oxford, they want 2 essays, each 2000 words. I took 1.5 months to write a 1500 word PS and polish it. Still writing essay for Oxford. Hope I will get accepted by the trio. Regards, Hari Thomson...

@BBW: Thanks for your points. I agree with Birkbeck being a +point being situated in London. @Domini: I agree, I was not entirely wise wrt Birkbeck. Thank you for your comment, I am reconsidering my options. Will also add Birkbeck in the pros and cons list. Thank you

People in the forum, I really need your help.. I have got acceptances from the following universities, namely Lancaster - Computational Finance Manchester - MSc Quantitative Finance: Financial Engineering course Leicester - MSc in Financial Mathematics & Computation Birkbeck - Msc...

Very true Ekta, planning to keep Lancaster as a backup till the results are out for Imperial, Cass and LSE. Ekta, are you a a MFE student? Thank you.

true indeed Andy, Grace and bigbaddie, Thank you for your comments. Even I derived the same conclusion as you people did. The curriculum isn't upto the mark, the faculty is a bunch of French guys with no major Google presence(but didnt want to assume just because they are not on the Google...
