Quant Masters Preparation

[thcreech]

Hey everyone, I was recently accepted into a quantitative finance program and am looking for some recommendations for how to best prepare myself before it start in Fall 2024. A little about my background: I completed my undergraduate degree in chemistry with the school requiring the courses Calc I-III and ODEs on the math front. On top of this, I of course took physical chem I and II which gave me some exposure to PDEs and took some elective courses in programming and statistics. In preparation for applying, I also took courses in corporate finance, linear algebra, and calc-based stats from another institution after I graduated from undergrad. I've also completed some programming projects in python and started to learn C to help on the programming front.

I just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on where I might need to brush up or self-study given my non-traditional background and any recommendations of resources/books that might help in prepping. Thanks!
