Does anyone know if any of these program are difficult to get into? These schools are ranked 10-20 something on Global Derivatives website
The ranking on GD is a joke. If you use any kind of ranking to guide your future, you are going into a maze.
I have NEVER come across anyone/any post saying they got rejected by IIT, Polytech. Not one. All the posts indicate that they (at least IIT) seem to accept about everyone. I also read many posts about scholarships given out by these two programs. So much that it seems they use scholarships to attract students or fill seats.
It's getting very competitive and programs you mentioned have no choice but to offer tuition waiver as so-called scholarships to fill their classroom. In a few years, you may get free tuition from some of the many also-run programs.
I don't know about FSU as Quantnet is mostly NYC focused but in short, yes, IIT and Poly are not difficult to get in relative to other programs.
will a MSMF degree from any of these schools have the possibility to lead to a wall st job? I've read in some places that to get a job at Wall St for Quants you need to attend a top 10-12 school, is this necessarily true?
What kind of Wall St job are we talking about?
Junior analyst at some small firm doing nothing relevant? Sure, any of these programs can get you there. The best indicator would be to look at the list of positions their previous graduates obtained. And where they end up working.
Wall St quant is a vague description that covers plenty of things. Going to a program that does not teach you any kind of programming would not prepare you for a role as a modeling quant.
