Any extra input on Waterloo MQF?

[James McGill]

I am trying to decide between the MMF program at Toronto and the Waterloo MQF program. I have already completed an undergraduate degree in Applied Mathematics. I want my fin eng experience to give me practical insight into the finance industry and prepare me for a challenging role at a trading desk. Please help me inform my decision.

I took courses in odes, stochastic processes, time series analysis, regression analysis, calculus ( multi-variate and uni-variate), one semester course in programming, and financial economics. Unfortunately, I did not take a course in pdes. In the recommended readings section in Waterloo's MQF website, it does not mention pdes;only multi-varaite calculus and odes. Do the MQF program admit students without pdes and how was it for those students who did not take a course in pdes?
