  1. Math Classes after Graduation

    Hey, Do you work FT right now? A lot of these classes at places like UIC or Depaul are only offered during the day. I was thinking of quitting my job soon to focus on taking these classes FT like you said as a non degree student.
  2. Math Classes after Graduation

    I had already taken Multivariable calc, Lin Alg & Dif Eq in high school, so my formal math background at college is limited even though I did a quantitative degree. So I wanted to take these at a local college now to show I know the material (I would easily get A's) I plan on doing all the...
  3. Preparing for MFE

    Hi all, I am currently a prop trader in Chicago and am interested in pursing a career as a quant. I graduated with only a 3.5 in BS Mech Engineering. I am 2 years out of college and am thinking of quitting work to get ready to apply to MFE programs. I would realistically only go to the top...
  4. Engineering Background but no math

    Yes, like Li Cai, I only took up to Dif Eq. I had actually already already completed Multivariable, Lin Alg, and Dif Eq in high school, but my college required that I take Calc III (Multivariable) again. So I took that and Dif Eq. Also, I am aware of the Illinois online courses. However, my...
  5. CMU MSCF CMU MSCF launches Online program

    Yea what you are saying is theoretically true, but practically it is another matter. In the UChicago case you just mentioned, that interviewee can simple say what he did. But if you say what you just quoted after doing an online MSCF, you aren't really building rapport with the interviewer are...
  6. CMU MSCF CMU MSCF launches Online program

    No, for that price of tuition, they give you the same diploma so you can "hide" the fact it was online. However, on your resume if you have work experience at the same time as your MSCF program, then what are you going to say in your interview? You have to admit it was online...
  7. Engineering Background but no math

    I am in an unusual situation. I graduated as an Engineering major, but my math and programming background is very limited. I only took Calc III and Dif Eq in college (no lin alg or probability) All the programming we did was in Matlab or some other language (not C++) What is the best way of...
  8. Math and CS Background

    I did my undergrad in Mech Eng, but the math and CS background was heavily lacking. I took only one undergraduate programming course, and because I had an advanced math background in HS I only took Calc III and Dif Eq in college. If I want to apply for MFE, where can I take advanced math and...
  9. "MFE program profile evaluation" master thread

    Hi, I just graduated undergrad and will be working in trading next year. Long term, I am considering an MFE to improve my programming skills and perhaps move to a quant role. I just wanted to know my chances given my profile: -B.S. in Engineering -Semi Target (top 25 university) -Low GPA...
