B.A. Mathematics

[CGiuliano]

My degree from Baruch will be B.A. Mathematics/Double Minor in CS & Finance. Although I am taking classes now that directly relate to Quantitative Finance, will my degree be frowned down upon because it is not a B.S.?

 

[Eugene Krel]

I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[CGiuliano]

I wouldn't worry about it.

What was your major?

 

[Eugene Krel]

Exactly like yours.

 

[CGiuliano]

Cool. I just got into Cornell For OR/IE as a transfer. Should I make the switch?

Yes.

 

[CGiuliano]

Christian-- Did you go to Baruch also? Was it easy to get into graduate school out of MoF Concentration?

 

[Christian]

I did go to Baruch, but I haven't applied to any graduate schools yet so I wouldn't know. As far as undergraduate recruiting, I can tell you for sure that it is much stronger at Cornell.
