Application for a master of financial engineering without math courses?

[cynthiiiiiaaaaa]

hi all,
I'm preparing applications for a masters degree in financial engineering/ mathematical finance/ finance, and aiming top universities, including Columbia, Cornell etc.
Reading through some of the forums here, I found some mathematics courses were taken by most of the candidates.
is this a hard-head prerequisite? I mean, will I be automatically rejected if I didn't take them?


could anyone please give me some advice? I'm worried that I might be lost in preparing MSFE

Thanks in advance!

Hi Andy, sorry for bothering with trivial questions.
I'm just wondering are online courses considered as a training? they don't provide a certificate or statement of completion like that.

Huge thanks in advance!
