Math Masters Programs: Where Could I Get in?

[lawschool]

Assuming I have to pay for it, where could I get in?

Courses: Linear Algebra, Calc III, Combinatorics, Discrete Math, Statistics, Real Analysis I and II

Undergrad: HYP (philosophy major)
Undergrad GPA: 3.55

Work Experience: 1 year in banking boutique

GRE: 750+ Q 750+ V

Could I get into math masters programs like Courant or some of the masters in finance programs at Columbia, Princeton, NYU, LSE, etc? If not these, what others could I hope for?

Certainly not "those". You can make up for a low GPA with a high Q score. Or vice-versa. But both? And a non-math major? It would be difficult to get in anywhere. I would say aim for Brooklyn College or an equivalent.

What if I had an 800 Q score?

You would perhaps be considered an average candidate. I have never heard of a philosophy major applying for a Master's program.

I just want to explain my comment before: If your goal is to learn more and improve on your math skills you will be fine in a program like Brooklyn College. You will be given more or less the same material to study as an ivy league school. The main differences are professors, placement, school name,...

then you would be in a much better position. all the programs you listed are quite competitive though. you'd have a decent shot IMO
