<p>Is the undergrad quant finance major hard to get into?</p>
<p>The Stevens Quantitative Finance Program accepted its first class of freshmen in the Fall of 2009. The Quantitative Finance program is highly selective. Accepted students will rank in the top 15% of the Stevens in-coming class. Cross-over applications from students accepted or enrolled in other Stevens majors will be considered upon application to the Program Director. A “Minor in Quantitative Finance” option is being considered.</p>
<p>Applicants to the Quantitative Finance Program should have a strong background in math and/or computer science. They should have an interest in business and finance, and perhaps some familiarity with investing and the stock market.</p>
<p>The Admissions application, schedule, and other requirements are available online at <a href=“Admissions | Stevens Institute of Technology”>www.stevens.edu/admissions</a> or call 800-458-5323.</p>

<p>thank you but how does quant finance major compare to the competitive nature of a major such as engineering which Stevens is mainly known for? @rualum</p>
