Hello Mr. Villa: OFF SUBJECT
>> the MBA program with the most quantitatively inclined students in the country<<
correction
the MBA program with perhaps ONE of the most quantitatively inclined student bodies in the country. U of Chi-town with their CRISP and other quantitative methods, plus their rigorous application process that tends to favor innate quants, although the school is tiny compared to its many East Coast sisters, it is known as a very highly quantitative school. MBA students are only 1 to 3 classes away from learning and using stochastic statistics to arrive at pricing models for options and other securities, and their statistics section runs into the rigor of integral calculus to determine greatest likelihood estimators after 3 stat classes. Most of the students are required to take two or three of these classes. The point is that Chicago's reputation as delivering quants is firmly grounded. (Can you tell I'm a GSB grad in Finance and Statistics??). Realistically, the leading schools have a history of ups and downs and ins and outs of greater strengths and weaknesses over the years. It's a mixed bag of tricks without the qualifiers of class and year.
Best regards,
mdr

PS glad to see a fellow engineer--I went the ChE route rather than wire-head--I'll just have to keep at juggling those electrons to keep various atoms into associations rather than keeping current--har har har
