What was your undergrad major?

[keitheelee]

Doubled in Applied math and Econ.

Is it true that MFE programs tend to look for students with more theoretical background (ie math or statistics) than a technical background (ie computer science or engineering)?

I was reading the financial engineering programs' descriptions of UCL and Imperial College. Both state that the programs are for students with quantitative and theoretic background who want to sharpen their technical skills.

Info Systems Engineering with all of the finance courses a finance major would have to take (but not the business core so I can't get the double degree).

1 year left (taking all the finance and more grad courses (financial modeling and advanced numerical methods hopefully if I don't get kicked for being undergrad)).

GPA's garbage though...3.23 cumulative ATM.
