Hello,
I'm currently going for an undergraduate maths degree here in england (none of your american pissy degrees ;) ) and I just wondered had anyone else got into IB through Maths? If so, how'd the interview go? Do they seem any more tough on the analytical questions?

Maybe alongside your "maths" degree you should get an American pissy degree in "english."
Jeez! That bit was a joke mate, calm down a bit!
I think that the problem here might be that while we take "math" class or study "math" in America, they take "maths" in the UK.
"Maths" wasn't a typo or poor grammer on Big Adam's part.
Cheers for that mnkyboi; "maths" is an abbreviation, since the word "mathematics" itself is a pluralised word, coming from the latin pluralised word "mathematica". Now there's a bit of etymology for you all, to brighten up a dull night.
I wonder why I read that with a british accent.
i've heard of an ivey maths major going to GS nyc
maths can suck it.
I"m a math major at a target ivy, and received a good number of interviews and offers. They like analytical minds and assume you'll be able to pick up the financial aspects quite quickly.
Thanks very much guys, all v useful
In my experience with a similar background, I was asked quick mental calculations (percents, multiplication, roots, etc.) but had to specifically prove my interest and knowledge of finance.
