I just got of the phone with departement and I have heard good things about the program.
Pros
Cons
I have read a lot of post from twofish-quant saying how "bad" MMF programs are but it seems like I would enjoy this one. Also, if things don't work out I could always run back to engineering.:tongue2:
Does anyone have an experience with the MMF program at UofT( University of Toronto)?
Any advice for me? Good or bad, I still want to hear it.
Pros
- I may not need to retake math courses I already took in engineering.
- The program is only one year. 4 months school, 4 months internship and 4 months school.
- Department has 100% sucess rate of finding internship apppointments.
- I am coming from an EE program with a bit of programming (assembly, very little object oriented(java) , some c and maybe others in 4th year).
- Typical entrance average is around A- but I know that would not guarantee admission.
Cons
- Program is extremely competitive only 30 spots .
- Tuition is 40K but "guaranteed" 17K "rebate" by the company you do intership for. No other internal funding. You have to apply for other graduate grants of whatever they are called.
- Program goes at a very quick pace so no time to review old things ( that's why I am thinking of retaking some courses since the engineering version was watered down).
