The rankings are new and raw. They exclude programs that have less than 30 students or are less than 5 years old (I think). Needless to say, many great programs didn't make the list.

It is a great start, but far from complete.

Thanks everyone for the advice. Since the rankings are fairly new, I know I am missing a big list of schools that may in fact be better. I'm thinking of applying to 10 schools, so I would like to know about other schools I haven't considered.

I've seen Hjort's list of MSF programs. I prefer to concentrate on Comprehensive MSF programs, as opposed to Financial Engineering. Any ideas of other schools that require little to no experience? Thanks again guys and gals.

Most schools are fine with no experience. The MSF is typically undertaken by someone right out of school or with a year or less.

Not trying to spam, but if you want to research programs check out my site. I have just about every MSF program there is with a lot of student reviews and links, etc. I got my MSF from Villanova and work in finance so I think I have a decent feel of how things are.

Is there any way to find out average GMAT scores of MSF programs? I'm having a hard time finding these statistics.
