How can you expect to get a Master's degree in a quantitative discipline with no math? Even most Econ programs presuppose Real Analysis.

"Now, everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn, but what this book presupposes is...maybe he didn't?"

There have been many great comebacks throughout history. Jesus was dead but then came back as an all-powerful God-Zombie.
 

Most of the programs I have looked into require courses up to real and complex analysis. Along with an intermediate background in statistics. Its the norm throughout the degree... There are some (look at CM's 5 programs, Columbia's 4(?)) that require maybe a LITTLE less in terms of math, and more in terms of C++/Python/R, but each program you need a fairly strong amount of math. You may have to pursue a more math intensive master's prior to applying mfe, just to put you on par with the physics and math majors.
