Course Advice

[LucaV]

Hi everyone!

I am an international who graduated in May from a 4 year program with 3 universities/degrees (2 years at USC in the US, the other two were in Italy and Hong Kong) in Management Science/Business Administration(However it was STEM as I've had a few classes but from what I've read on this forum only Calculus I is relevant). My GPA is low - 3.2. I am currently working on a temporary contract at a bank in corporate finance in New York. I know I don't have the easiest route but I am sure this is what I want to do. I plan on taking the Baruch Pre MFE courses, however I need to fulfill my prerequisites for them. I am wondering if I should take Calculus II, probability,C++, and Linear Algebra at a community college or an UCB/Harvard extension. I would also appreciate any other advice if any!

Thank you!

Take a look at the syllabus of the same courses from both places and see which one is more mathematical rigorous. That is the one you want to take. The hardest path is usually one that prepares you better.
Best of luck. This is a long journey but thousands of QuantNet members have been where you are now.
