Ya programming I have covered - 2 semesters in college + some at work. Doubt that was it. Calculus also covered - up to diff eq.

 

I realized too late that the LOR from landlord probably will not hold as much water. I thought about it the wrong way - Senior manager at private banking from MS - I thought would be nice. He did highlight some of my financial knowledge. Oh well.

 

I guess my next question is I am considering applying to CMU, Baruch, a few others. But I will have similar short comings. At best i can get a diff LOR, but seeing as how i will not have completed my pre-req math, it will probably look bad. Would applying this year, and getting a rejection, look bad if i reapply next year? Would it be better to just wait until i get all my credentials in order (Also taking CFA level 2 in summer, pretty confident i will pass that)? I know many firms actually get a bad impression of you if you apply and get rejected. Does this also hold true for grad schools?

 

Personally, I am not really in RUSH for a quant job - I have a good consulting gig at Accenture and all. I would PREFER to start a quant career sooner than later and that is why I would apply just to test the waters - but if a rejection means lower chances of entering next year I would wait.

 

What are your thoughts?
