Hello all!! I'm not sure if anyone has any insights into the UChicago Masters Financial Mathematics program offered, but I was recently waitlisted and plan on reaching out. In my application, I discussed my experience learning a new programming language, the "unorthodox" ways I learned about finance outside of coursework, and demonstrated how UC would help me get where I want.
I plan to send the admissions department a letter, discussing some of the projects l've been working on in my downtime to prepare for graduate programs while continuing to learn about the industry. I also plan on stating that the program is truly my #1, and an admission would be accepted instantaneously (I'll word this better).
Does anyone have any input into what type of student the program is looking for? Any skills I should mention that I might have missed? Also, is there anything I should avoid saying?
Thank you so so much! This forum has been invaluable in helping me craft my applications.
