Really need help! I get an offer of mathematical finance from USC and an offer of statistics from Columbia. I am hesitating between the two. I just know that it is very hard to find a job after you graduate from USC. So I prefer Columbia. But I actually do not like statistics and am really interested in financial engineering. I got email from director that it is possible for me to transfer from statistics to mathematical finance as soon as I get admission from director of statistics and director of mathematical finance. But I wonder if there is any successful case before. If so, what does the process work (ie.high GPA or networking ?). And when to apply?(I do not want to miss classes.)

Thank you very much!!!
 
why don't u go to columbia...build a rapport with the director of the mth.finance department, and then transfer after a semester with steller grades?

But the question is： what is the probability of transfer？
 
between o and 1.

why did you apply to a stats program if you weren't interested in it? it sounds like you need to figure out your life before you go to grad school.
 
in all honesty, there is a lot of statistics in mathematical finance. depends which route you want to go. there is no problem doing statistics and taking some elective classes in math finance.

i would guess you have a high probability of transferring.
