[QUOTE="MFwhartonite, post: 36068, member: 5660"] Hi guys, i have had similar questions for the past few months and can't get a good response. My situation is very similar. my undergrad program is finance and statistics at Wharton with a math minor in the college of arts and sciences. I want to get a MFE or MFIN later in life. I've considered getting a math major in addition to my Bachelor of science in econ from wharton, but that is a ton of work and will impact my gpa. The only difference between taking the math minor and taking the major is taking 2 semesters of advanced abstract algebra and 2 smesters of real analysis. These courses are known for being terribly difficult and with no application in the world of finance which is where i plan to work(trading). Most of the upper level quant finance degrees say real analysis is recommended. So my question is if i don't get the math major and don't take real analysis and abstract algebra(really advanced calculus) will i not be able to do well and get accepted to a MFE program? thanks [/QUOTE]
