Yea in either case, i'll be taking all my programming classes. But like i said, i can't take the finance class without taking accounting AND econ. So are two finance classes worth taking 4 less math classes?

Assuming i want to apply to MFE programs directly after undergrad, which would help my admissions more: 8-9 advanced math classes (past DiffEq and intro to proofs) with no finance classes, or 4-5 advanced math classes along with intro to microeconomics, principles of accounting 1, Principles of...

Thanks for that input; I haven't heard that before. So I think next summer I'm going to do a Math REU, junior year do some kind of independent study/research in a financial mathematics subject, then that summer try my best to find an internship. All that along with keeping my grades up, studying...

Haha alright, I gotcha

Thanks for the helpful advice. I was pretty discouraged about my chances at an MFE program. But I'm confident that my GPA will be good, and I'll try to do everything i can to help my GRE. As for experience, where can I look for relative internships/ research? Some summer programs i know i can...

And also when you say you think I should be able to get into an MFE program somewhere, what kind of places should I look? At the middle/bottom of QuantNet's ranking list, or on schools not listed like new programs? Sorry if my questions sound stupid, I'm just trying to familiarize myself with...

Thanks for the input. And to answer your questions, right now I've just taken intro to programming, which was just basic programming in Pascal. But I plan to minor in Computer Science. And as for getting into a not-top FE program, do students in these programs still have good job opportunities...

So i don't know how much of this is relevant, but here's my story: As a high school student i scored a 33 on my ACT and 2110 SAT first time without studying. I got into some good schools, no top ten or anything, but Emory, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt. But my parents pushed me to go where i got the...
