Hi Yuan,

Congratulations on acceptance into the program.  I have sent your email to the admissions coordinator fo the MSFE program.  He can answer your questions about financial aid.  I do not know much about the Rutgers program.  I will give you some information about careers.

Being close to Wall Street can help because networking is the best way to find a job or internship.  2009 was a rough year economy wise as you know so it did affect both internship offers and as well as full time employment.

Out of the students seeking internships last summer, 8 out of 26 found summer internships.  Here are the positions and the companies:

Financial Analyst InternTrust Company of the West
Business Valuation Analyst InternSanli Pastore & Hill, Inc.
Accounting InternshipAVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour Inc.
Analyst Assistant InternshipCredit Mortgage Group, Trust Company of the West
Global Banking & Markets InternRoyal Bank of Scotland
InternTrust Company of the West
Summer AnalystBarclays Capital
Quantitative Research InternCapital Metrics and Risk Solutions

For the class of 2009, 50% reported having jobs at graduation.  Not everyone last year turned in their employment survey however.  The employment rate for our US citizens was 75% last year.  It really helps if you have had some work experience (preferrably in finance) and some programming languages (C++, VB, etc.)

Here's a list of job titles and companies where our alumni have recently found employment:
