How strong of a math background do I need to be successful in an MSF
How strong of a math background do I need to be successful in an MSF?
In high school I took mostly AP math classes, but have not had much math exposure since then. I am starting an MSF program in about a month and am not sure if I should be spending that time learning more advanced calculus and statistics or if I be fine with a limited grasp on these subjects?
Any help would be appreciated.
Depends on the program, some are more quant than others. I don't think your program would have accepted you if they didn't think you had the potential to be successful there.
MIT MSF Math Requirements (Originally Posted: 10/14/2013)
Can anyone comment on how lenient the MIT admissions committee is with the math prereqs for the MSF program? I have a profile that matches the class profile, but I majored in finance so I did not take any high level math classes. Will I still be seriously considered for the program?
I have a few finance internships with a 3.8 GPA at a state school in the southeast and 700+ GMAT for a little background on myself.
Thanks in advance.
You can take a pre class I believe they offer. I'd email them and see if you can take come community college classes to augment your profile. They should be flexible. Good luck!
MIT, USC, Texas, Claremont, and Vanderbilt
All are good for that goal assuming you do well in the program and prep for the interview. Each will be regional with the exception of MIT. USC is new so you'll have to hustle a little more.
USC has MASSIVE potential because of the name
This probably isn't the place, but I'd love to hear everyone's take on USC. Will it compete with Claremont?
