Calling all Simon (Rochester) Fall 2010 applicants

Admitted in R1 with $$$, but I guess I will withdraw as I also got admitted at Ross. Good luck to all!

Hi,
I had my interview for the MSF program last week. I got a voice mail from Greg McDonald (executive director of admissions) yesterday telling me I got in :D Just received my admissions package today!
I am still undecided about the school though. It would be a lot easier if I heard anything back from Duke.

Anyway, how many people here will be joining the masters of finance class this year?

I sent in my first $1500 deposit 2 days ago!

I think i'll send mine in sometime next week. That is if I can come to a decision! Rossyjr did you apply for the MS Finance program? If so did you concider any other schools and why did you decide on Simon ?

I did consider a couple other schools before the application process but Simon was the only graduate school I applied to. My professor of Econometrics nominated me for the early leaders scholarship and after finding out it was one of the top finance programs in the country it was an easy decision for me. It was an easy decision because a lot of young students go there (Im 22 and a graduating Senior @ Ithaca College in upstate NY, and Rochester is only 2 hours from my home where i still coach my younger sisters sports teams! I applied to the MBA Finance program but eventually switched in to MS Finance after talking to a lot of people. The faculty at Simon are phenomenal and know how to get information across. They have recently dedicated the program to aiding in job searches instead of preparing for interviews which I believe is more important. The students that come out of Simon are also very happy with the program and remain close to other Alumni. Being close to home and getting a scholarship was just too appealing to pass up and although applying to one program was stressful it helped knowing where I wanted to go.

I have decided on Simon too. The talk with Greg and the revamped Career management center were major factors for me. I will be sending in my $1500 deposit early next week. Very happy to have chosen Simon, finally after talking to so many people I have made a decision. I did my undergraduate from the Rochester Institute of Technology so really looking forward to heading back to ROC Anyway I hope to see you in Rochester.

My name is Craig Ross if you want want to contact me email cross2@ithaca.edu

I just got admitted to Simon with $$$!! I'm sooo happy today!!!
