I wouldn’t say leadership experience is absolutely necessary. I got in because of my interest in finance as shown through internships, research, trading, etc. as well as very high grades/SATs. I’m not lacking in leadership ability, but it was not part of my ECs. Besides, 500 leaders in a class would be disastrous.



Calculus is the most pointless, waste of time class I’ve ever taken.



Calculus and statistics are incredibly powerful tools in finance and many other disciplines.
