financial engineering

<p>hello i am a freshmen doin electrical/comp engineering...and i am really interested in financial engineering ... what minors would improve my chances getting in that program? statistics, economics,...?</p>

<p>math minor: real analysis, diff eqs, probability, stats
econ/finance: corp finance, derivatives courses, markets
CS minor: C++, object oriented design, numerical methods</p>

<p>the committees view applicants on their strengths in those three areas (math, econ, and CS), so any combination of minors there would put you on the right track.</p>

<p>how difficult is it to get in a financial engineering program? the gpa range?</p>

<p>You won't find specific gpa's here but this should give you some insight on the qualifications of admitted students to a highly regarded FE program...</p>
