I am finishing out my undergraduate senior year with a degree in finance and I happened to take a derivatives course for an elective. The professor has been urging all of us to consider financial engineering, and I find it all very fascinating. I've been looking at schools to apply for, and I would obviously have to wait a year to get in, but I'm starting to wonder if it is even feasible. My undergrad GPA is 3.2, but thats a very poor reflection of my college degree since I didn't know what I wanted to major in until a few years ago. All of my business/finance classes have been A's and A-'s, with a small number of B's as well. I haven't taken any form of calculus but I am willing to take as many non-degree seeking calculus courses that are required to get in. My programming knowledge is also extremely limited, but I am willing to work hard for the next year to gain that knowledge. I suppose I would just appreciate some opinions of whether I can get the necessary mathematical and programming background required for admission in roughly one year. Thanks!
