| not necessarily math, it could be some quantitative major like engineering, but I've read on U Chicago's MSFM website that the major reason most applicants are rejected is that most haven't had adequate undergrad math preparation...to be safe and maximize your chances, major in math, along with something else....i plan to double major in finance and math at NYU and then apply to these quant finance programs...i've looked at the resumes of many students in these programs, many have undergrad majors/minors in math, along with something else, mostly econ, physics, engineering etc |
