the best course for mfe offered at haas, IMO, was magin’s 137. ive spent a lot of time at haas’ mfe admissions office and talking to current students, and that’s what i’ve concluded.

i’ve taken stats 157 (asset pricing models) and that is helpful. my math adviser swears by math 126, but that’s because he teaches it… it’s all well and good to learn the pde’s etc etc, but mfe doesn’t really need to know the nuts and bolts of solving them, but just knowing *** is going on and not looking like an idiot when talking about them, as you’ll be grinding a couple SDE’s (stochastic differential eqx’s) in the intro curriculum.

anyway, classes are classes. take a word from your senior: an ounce of networking is worth a pound of coursework.

to address your true question, everyone ive asked who took 137 with prof N said they hated it. u can come up with a lot of the excel models with ugba 103 background and fudging around numbers.
