We have $250,000 in total per year for candidates whose qualifications are exceptional.

A3: we started our program from 2009.

Q4: What are the minimum test score required?
A4: The minimum GRE score is 750. Last year, the Student GRE Average was 786. Five students have PhD degree in our current class.

Q5: What is your tuition?
A5: The tuition fee for last year was $29,000 for international students and $19,000 for home students.

Q6: Is GMAT accepted?
A6: No, only GRE is accepted.

Q7: Can I waive Application fee?
A7: No.

Q8: 网站上提供的信息太少了. 比如faculty的具体信息就没有
A8: 给MFE program上课的老师，多数是business school的faculty， 也有少数来自bank。
     关于business school的faculty，请见
           http://www.shidler.hawaii.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=58
     点左边可以查看每个系的faculty介绍。

Q9: 学生怎得到实习机会呢?     
A9: 关于实习，business school每周都会有公司来学校招人，每学期还有一次大型的招聘会。09年10月的招聘会上，
      MerrillLynch（著名投行，现在已被Bank of America收购）招了5个MFE的学生去实习（这些学生刚进入MFE1个半月），为期半年。
      这个program的director在bank工作过10多年，和bank有很多联系。培养目标是面向工业界，而不是学术界。
      希望所有的学生都能进入IB或者做quant.

Q10:  奖学金的信息我希望能多了解一些
A10:  奖学金，每个申请者都会有，拿多少就看你的实力了。你可以把你的CV和成绩单先发给MFE program的
       Pedro Villarreal，让他们来判断。 如果想多拿奖学金，GRE分数一定要高，特别是数学部分。当然了，你也可以告诉我你的大致情况（学校，专业，GPA, rank, GRE, work experience/internship），我可以根据去年的情况判断你大概可以拿多少（这只是个参考，具体还是由Program committee决定).

Q11:  去年的学生都是什么背景？
A11:  以前学什么的都有，数学，计算机，经济，金融，EE,  物理，MBA, 法律。学法律的哥们这次美国律师资格考试通过了，后面估计会去做律师。最厉害的是有个俄罗斯的哥们，以前自己是开公司的，这次把公司卖了来读书。还有一个小日本，以前在日本投行做quant，也跑来了。还有一个英国人，在美国stanford大学拿了天文学的博士学位，找不到工作，为了其美国女友（在加州工作），也跑到这个项目来了。当然了，也有弱的。有一个是国内三本，在清华读了个第二学位，然后以清华的名义申请，老美哪里知道其中的区别，结果被录取了，还拿到了奖学金。

Q12. I want to know if it is too late to apply for the program and also apply for the financial aid (2010-1-18).
A12: NO. You can apply for the program and the financial aidnow.  Jan 15 is the early application deadline. The normal deadline isApril 1.

Q13. about the statement of purpose, am I supposed to use the formprovided by the graduate admission office, or in a regular page with no restriction? In the end, there is a place requesting student ID. I don't know what it is.
A13: You can use a regular page with no restriction. If you apply MFE program online, you will get your application No.  If you are admitted by MFE program, this number is also your student ID at Uni. of Hawaii.

Q14: I currently in the US. Do you think it is good to call them and talk with them about the program directly?
A14: Of course, it will increase your chance to get scholarship from MFE program. It is better if you can call them between 10:00am-5:00pmat hawaii local time.

Q15.  麻烦问一下，hawaii的MFE好不好找工作？  faculty的network怎么样啊？
A15: MFE才办了一年，第一批学生是09年秋季入学的，现在还没有毕业生。 新的项目有好有外，正如一个网友所说，
新的项目为了把项目办好，吸引后面的学生，前面会花很大的力气，投入很多的钱。这也就是为什么现在有
Scholarships（ 不需要做RA或者TA）的原因。后面Scholarships肯定是会越来越少，因为与第一年相比，申请
的人多了。关于第二个问题，请见Q8和Q9.

Q16:  GRE最少多少?
A16:  每年不一样,取决于当年的所有申请者,因为这个program有人数限制, 每年招满35个人就不再招了.
         如果想拿scholarship, 越高越好,特别是数学部分. 去年拿75%以上的数学都考了800.

Q17:  申请什么时候截止? 我现在申请,还有奖学金么?
A17:  现在只是early application截止. 正常申请deadline是4月1日(国际), 5月1日(美国). 只要在截止之前申请, 如果奖学金没有发完, 都有机会. 但这个program有人数限制, 每年招满35个人就不再招了.

Q18:  我已经在美国学习, 我还需要提供TOEFL成绩么?
A18:  不需要. 如果被录取, 只需要在报到之前拿到美国的学位证书.

Q19:  我怎么才能拿到全奖?
A19:  每个人的背景不一样. The qualifications for the MFE program are an excellent score on the quantitative part of the GRE exam. Greatacademic grades and academic, professional achievement is also taken into account. 去年的经验是拿Scholarship 75%以上的GRE数学部分800, GPA很高. 强烈建议已经在美国或者英文好的直接打电话给program的director: Gunter Meissner, 001- (808) 956-7738.

Q20: 请问这个学校的T和G的送分代码是多少呢？
A20: GRE: 4867.
        TOEFL:  4867
