I know they are one of the top guys for math, but there are people going to Yale School of Management over Duke and the like, simply because it's Yale.

i tend to think of nyu, CMU, columbia and berkeley as being the best for that sort of thing. |

Then there is an OR type program that allows you to take a lot of relevant courses from optimization theory, stochastics, algorithms, etc...

Date: April 2nd, 2009 1:08 PM Author: Mischievous bawdyhouse having done a 1-year program, I wouldn't recommend it. 8 courses + thesis in one year is a major overload at the graduate level, and you end up cutting serious corners in your work just to finish on time. if i had it to do over again, i either would have simply taken two years to do the program, or I would have gone to a true 2-year program in the first place.

Date: April 6th, 2009 2:15 PM Author: Mischievous bawdyhouse my program actually provided some financial incentives for people who wanted to stretch it into a second year, but they didn't publicize this fact very broadly, because they wanted to crank people through.
