Thanks Andy. The numbers are really incredible and tell us how fierce competition can be. Though it is true that history or literary major can apply for finance positions, I think they do not have (or should have) a big possibility to work in a higly quantitative field such as Finance.

I have two questions for you guys: 1) What's the likelihood of being admitted to the graduate program from a top financial firm with no previous internship within the financial industry? 2) Trading fixed income products electronically is a growth area. Goldman’s electronic bond trading...

Hi demonicangelz, I can tell you something as regards the UK institutions you mentioned. Cambridge, Oxford and LSE require a 1st class Hons (2.1 only in exceptional cases) , so you're on the right track. They all consider previous experience a plus, but it is not mandatory. LSE strongly suggest...

Trading fixed income products electronically is a growth area. Goldman’s electronic bond trading platform was launched a few months ago. Last week the Wall Street Journal reported that Morgan Stanley was following Goldman in automating its fixed income business. Which skills are needed to work...

This is what you've just said: "I want to live for my job, wont have a family, so, which is the most money making job I can do?". Read it 10 times, and think deeply about it. However, this is the real answer nobody is going to tell you: the most money making job is still the "call girl" also...

This book covers ALL the topics you listed. I've been studying it for one semester, and I can definitely state that it was worth it ;) It is also the prerequisite book required to attend the ETH Zurich MSc in Quantitative Finance, maybe the most prestigious quant school in Europe. Probability...

I know how to program in C ("medium proficiency", I could say ) and I can use MATLAB, SQL and R quite well. It seems that the Imperial College and LSE courses (both MSc Finance and RMFE) have a good reputation in Europe, don't know in the US. If possible, I'd also like to know whether it's...

I confirm it's possible. Actually, a lot of students apply to a MSc right after undergraduate. I will finish my degree in June 2013, so I'm going to start my MSc in Semptember 2013. Therefore, I have to make an application in the period October-December 2012 Still waiting for different...

Hi everyone! Being a 2nd year undergrad, I'm going to apply for a MSc with a strong focus on Quantitative Finance in October. Therefore, I'd like to ask you 2 questions: 1) Could you please rank these EU MSc, according to your knowledge and experience? Imperial College: MSc Risk Mgmt and...

Hi everyone, a BB bank recently called me to complete a numerical test for an internship position. I'd like to have some practical advice from you: (consider I am 19) 1) How could I prepare for the test? Which kind of questions will I have to answer? 2) From you experience, are many people asked...

This was one of the questions I had to solve in my final high-school exam!

So Ken, which course between Advanced Statistic or PDE provides a useful background to work in Asset Management? Thanks.
