[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey sorry about the delay in response. Hope you still see this. Regular math will work supplemented with rigorous exposure to statistics and pick up a few econometrics classes from the econ department. Prestige does matter in finance unfortunately - though less so in the quant world - thankfully. Looking at the top 50 list, pretty much all of them will have prof's in the math/econ department that do research in financial asset forecasting which she should try to get on a research assistant. Yes a math/physics double major is a very common profile to get on the quant path. A higher ranked school will make it a bit easier for recruiting but top 50 won't stop you. breaking into the quant world is a lot more egalitarian than traditional IB or MBB consulting. She'll just have to pound the pavement harder and bolster her resume with more research. [/quote] Thank you - this is very helpful![/quote]
