<p>I am no longer a student at NU; upon looking at the link you posted, it looks like I was wrong about the physics requirement. It looks like 2 quarters of physics are still required and that the fact you took 3 semester of physics probably won’t place you out of the engineering first. I think it would be difficult to ask them place you out of the whole EF by differential eq and linear algebra alone; but then asking you to sit with all the freshmen and go through the whole EF is kinda excessive on the other hand. Let me know what they say. I am curious. </p>
<p>As far as hireability goes, I’d heard that people with great math/modeling skill are well sought by the Wall Street but you probably want to take additional econ/finance classes outside the AM curriculum in order to land those jobs. <a href=“Businessweek - Bloomberg”>Businessweek - Bloomberg; Another good option is to double that with economics or industrial engineering, in which classes like stochastic models and financial engineering are available. I know people who like math get to become actuaries. But I’d heard the demand for actuaries isn’t all that high right now as insurance companies don’t need large number of them. That’s what I can think of out of my limited knowledge.</p>
