Help! Undergraduate Quant Interview!

[Amber Roxanna]

In general, does anyone know what type of questions are asked to undergraduates for research positions ?

everything in "heard on the street' and then some.
What type of research position-what will you actually be doing? coding, stats, hft?
which fund?
Questions asked will depend on your background and the fund.

She's only 19 - so sophomore - so I think she means university research? Or am I wrong and you mean internship?

 

[Amber Roxanna]

This is for an actual internship, I think i'll be constructing models or assisting other quants in a variety of things.

with all due respect, what sort of fund hires 19-year-old undergrads to construct models?

You're probably right, I think it'll just be simple regression analysis or doing market research. Damn! I was really hoping they would ask me to price options, I put that as my expertise on my resume lol. They will be disappointed. I just know Hull.
