Im curious if anyone has applied/currently enrolled/graduated from either the Columbia/ NYU Math Fin programs with less math background than the typical candidate?
I'll leave 'less math background' open ended for others with similar inquiries, but personally I graduated from a target school with a degree in economics. I have 3 years work exp in liquidity risk mgmt for a large bank. My work is fairly quantitative (numbers, data, programming), but light on math complexity. My group is not responsible for developing algorithms or statistical models. How have people without the typical bs/ms/phd in math or engineering found their experiences? Did you wish you took a few math courses before applying? If so which ones would have helped the most?
Ill also note that I am looking to do this part time, and stay at my job, although there is the option I'd eventually want to try a new group.
