<p>I am currently attending a community college, soon to transfer to UCLA for completion of a degree in applied mathematics or mathematics/applied science with an emphasize on operations research. My question is would this degree allow me to get a job as a trader? I know that UCLA is not exactly a target school but what are my chances?</p>
<p>You should apply to ucb-haas too, haas is definitely a target. It is possible to get into trading at UCLA if you make the right connections/networks.</p>
