    Singapore hedge fund vs Wall Street aspirations

    You are still in college, why the rush? NY and Wall St. is still gonna be there waiting for you man. If I were you I'd take the offer (even though Singapore is tiny and boring :P), work hard for a few years then maybe go to NY for grad school or another job. Win-win?

    "MFE program profile evaluation" master thread

    Andy, why do you think GRE Quant so important? It's just general math and doesn't say much (IMO). He has a not so great GPA but has done a lot of research, has some published papers, and work experience. That's pretty impressive :D

    Undergrad Course Planning for MFE suggestion

    Man, I don't know how "l33t" you are but it's so weird that you plan to take just "intro to computer programming" then "artificial intelligence". There are usually a sequence of 2-3 programming classes (Intro 1 2 3, or Data Structures) and then Algorithms... It basically takes 2 years for...

    Quantitative Interview questions and answers

    I'm not sure if anyone did this way yet. Suppose the sqrt exists, then: (a^2=2+a) (a^2-a-2=0) ((a-2)(a+1)=0) Thus a=2 (sqrt >= 0) Great topic, guys! This is my first post btw.
