I agree! It doesn't make any sense. Besides the salary gap, even at internships and work women are usually treated differently. I remember when i first started interning at a small hedge fund, i spent most of the time making copies and getting lunch compared to the male cohorts (that's just my...

You're probably right, I think it'll just be simple regression analysis or doing market research. Damn! I was really hoping they would ask me to price options, I put that as my expertise on my resume lol. They will be disappointed. I just know Hull.

So, Baruch's Pre-MFE course in advanced calculus for financial engineering is not sufficient enough to start studying Stochastic ?

This is for an actual internship, I think i'll be constructing models or assisting other quants in a variety of things.

In general, does anyone know what type of questions are asked to undergraduates for research positions ?

Are there any Statistical Trading Firms in New York similar to MAN/AHL that simply trade on statistical properties ?

I've taken and completed the CHP curriculum with a specialization in quantitative portfolio management. Unfortunately, you'd be surprised as to how many hedge funds i've applied to for internships that didn't have a single idea of what it was. But at the same time it's unique because chances are...

I think that "real-world experience" is implied in quant finance programs. If you look at the bigger picture, these programs structure their curriculum in a way which balances theory with practice. You'll be surprised as to how much similarity exist in the course with real world questions that...

I'm planning on applying to a graduate program in statistics. I'm going to focus my course of studies in time series analysis, Econometrics and financial statistics. There is obviously much more to the application to an MFE program in the future but i wanted to know if this is an Excellent step...

I'm learning it for a graduate program i'm applying to which requires a scientific computing language. I already have a solid grasp of C++ and had a little extra time on my hands, so I thought i'd pick up FORTRAN along the way. There is no such thing as too much programming, lol.

I'm new to fortran and am currently learning the language. Thought my experience would be more pleasant with a a good fortran compiler. Anyone know of any open-source / free compiler and can you please attach the download link. thanks

That's because I love physics and have a passion for it. I love financial engineering equally as well. Above all, i'd never even get accepted in to financial engineering program out of college. My courses and GPA aren't strong enough. I only have a 3.8 GPA, and have only taken a few "good...
