Am I screwed?

[Granylagus]

Hi. I am a 24 year old community college student in New York City. I have a 3.3 gpa. I want to become a quant. What's the best path for me to take? I have an extremely low gpa, so no chance for me to get into an ivy league institution. I was planning on transferring to baruch, and getting the highest grades possible to get into Baruch's MFE program. Is there still hope? What would you do in my situation?

There’s always hope. Most program require a Bachelors- maybe grad your studies to math or programming and go from there? Why you want to be a Quant is important.

May I ask why you want to become a quant?
