Admission - M.S. in Applied Financial Mathematics
Introduction
A sound undergraduate program in mathematics is required for entrance into this program. This can be obtained in an undergraduate mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering, or quantitative economics degree program although those are not the only possibilities. Generally we are looking for calculus through multivariate (usually 3 semesters), differential equations, linear algebra, and mathematical probability or mathematical statistics. Slightly less preparation can be acceptable in an otherwise strong candidate. It is strongly recommended that applicants take the general GRE exam and submit the score to us. Applicants who fail to do so will be at a disadvantage in the admission process and at a severe disadvantage in the decision process for financial aid. The GRE subject test is not required.
Competitiveness
Most of the students we admit to the program have an undergraduate GPA of 3.5 or higher and score 800 on the quantitative section of the general GRE. These are not absolute requirements, since we look at all aspects of the application and recommendation letters, but they do characterize the results of our admissions process in recent years.
