The number of applicants to the MFE program for
Fall 2007 admission increased by
83%, and the pool of applicants became stronger at the same time (the
average GRE Quantitative score of
all the applicants increased from 758 to 767). This is reflected in the
strength
of our Fall 2007 cohort, the strongest we have ever enrolled, based on
average test scores.

We look at every application as a complete package, which includes not
only the
quantifiable parts, such as GPA and test scores, but also the Personal
Essay, Letters of Recommendation, and other general considerations,
such as
relevant work experience and the strength of the mathematical and C++
programming background of the applicant. We include detailed statistics
on the GPAs and the test scores of the students admitted into the MFE
program every year which show that low GPAs or low test scores
can be overcome by demonstrating strength in other areas of the
application.
