I was studying Economics & Operational Research in Turkey and applying to major MFE programs and managed to get some interviews and offers. My top suggestion would be, also consider UK programs, there are pretty solid programs out there which are cheaper. Secondly, take some additional math courses immideately. I would say Differential Equations is just extremely important, also probability and statistics courses help immensely. Thirdly, even if your background is not quantish you can present it more quantish (for example you can refer to the analytical parts in your VC experience etc.). Finally, try to obtain good score from GRE (170 quant would be very beneficial, obviously).</p></blockquote><p></p>
