Hi everyone,
I’m currently planning my pathway toward applying for MFE programs and would love to hear your honest feedback on my profile and expectations. I have quite a bit of math background up to Calculus 3, linear algebra, and Prob Stats because I learned it for fun on my own and I taught some lessons on those subjects for one on one cram school students. (I just don’t have official math credits)
Background:
WHILE WORKING FULLTIME:
Thanks in advance for the feedback!
