Hello,
I'm interested in pursuing a career in quantitative finance and I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has useful advice for me. I graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle with a BS in economics in 2006, and my undergrad gpa was 3.6 with a 3.7 in my major. Relevant coursework includes: Investment Capital Finance, Computational Finance, Econometrics, Calc I,II and III, Linear Algebra, Statistics with Calculus, and Differential Equations. After graduating I traveled and then worked for a pension fund for a short period of time. Now I'm back at the UW taking more math and finance courses; Linear Analysis, Multivariable Calc and Advanced Financial Economics. I have not taken the GRE yet and I plan on getting in a relevant programming class. Can you recommend any other courses? My math grades as an undergrad were mostly B's with some A's. Will I be competitive at top programmes? Thanks in advance.
