TSB and MCS kids can apply into computational finance 2nd semester of sophomore year and it is EXTREMELY selective. The program is capped at 10 kids but they rarely fill up all 10 slots in one go (the opportunity to reapply is there during junior year).

You’re a decent fit for MCS, and a good application seals the deal.

SCS is a crapshoot for anyone, but you’re competitive. It’s MIT level talent they look for so it’s nothing personal if you’re not admitted.
