Hi all,
I'm an incoming student for all 3 pre-MFE seminars (Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability) for Jan 2020. I am also currently working on completing the c++ certificate as well before the start date.
As I'm targeting Fall 2020 MFE programs, I was wondering if it would be at all possible to make a strong enough impression with the professors before the final exam, as most MFE programs have final round application deadlines around March 15th. I believe that the pre-MFE professors will have a much more accurate sense of my abilities than my undergraduate math professors from 2-3 years ago, and thus may be able to provide a stronger recommendation.
While I'm aware that Baruch MFE admissions are happy to wait until after I complete the seminars, I would of course like to be considered for other schools as well.
A little background on myself - Dec 2018 Mathematics undergrad from top 30 US, 3.35 GPA, 740 GMAT (50 Q, 40V)
(Not sure if I should spend the time to take the GRE as well for a 170 quant score... I imagine it would take me 30 hours or so to prepare)
Thanks in advance, and I look forward to any insight.
