  1. how to explain big GRE score jump

    I think general GRE's are silly, especially the math section. Anyone (even Gauss) can mess up arithmetic a few times in any one 30min time interval. And whala, no perfect score, no 800. On the other hand, mediocre undergraduates with B's/C's in their math classes could get lucky a few extra...

  4. W: withdrawing from a course

    Hello all, I wanted to if it's looked upon by graduate school admissions as being absolutely awful to have a grade of W (official withdrawal) on a transcript? Quickly, I'm taking a course which is only an elective (not at all major requirement). After a few weeks into it, I find it a...

  11. calculus or cfa .. or both?

  14. Just took the Briggs Meyers personality test

    I knew about these tests being used by large employers to improve their own candidate selections. I didn't know, though, they were given importance by quant employers. Since the qualifications to be a quant are relatively demanding. I would think, enough people are unqualified so that such...
