Hi, Andy
I hope this finds you well.
I’ve been admitted to UCLA MFE program, and I’m wondering how competitive its graduates are for quantitative roles. From all of the information that I got from social media, it seems like most hedge funds and top Wall Street firms tend to prefer candidates from top MFE programs like Baruch, Princeton, CMU, or UCB, it is impossible for students graduate from outside those programs. Do you think UCLA MFE students can still be strong contenders for quant roles? And I have no idea that how hard it is for students from UCLA MFE program in chasing quant roles.
Thank you in advance for your time! And I would be more than appreciated with whatever you can share with me~

Hi Andy,
I hope you’re doing well. I’ve recently been admitted to the MSc Financial Mathematics program at UCL, and I’m excited to deepen my knowledge in the field. However, I don’t have any prior internship experience in finance.
To improve my chances of landing a job post-graduation, what would you recommend I focus on during the next few months? Do you think studying for and taking the CFA Level 1 exam would be a smart move at this stage?
I’d truly appreciate any advice you could offer.
