does anyone know the difficulty of getting into a program like Columbia M.S. in financial engineering. What is the acceptance rate? What's a good ug major?

this question has been in my mind for quite a while too...u have to do insanely well as an undergrad in some mathematical major....i plan to do undergrad Finance + math/statistics at Stern, because most of the resumes of the students in those programs say that their undergrad major was either math, applied math, econ, statistics, or in some cases, electrical/computer engineering....i guess to even be considered competitive, you have to be majoring in one of those areas, along side which you must have done research/independent study as an undergrad.....a high GPA (3.7++) is almost assumed of the applicants who apply
