I already took the classes of Mathematical Analysis (2 semester), Linear algebra, Probability, Statistics, Econometrics, Mathematical Modeling experiments, Financial Mathematic and Differential equations in the economy.
Also took the programming classes of C++, SAS, Matlab, VB.

And in the 4th year of University i will take the class of Differential equations and Numerical Analysis.( I am junior student now)

I still concerned whether these classes satisfy >90% school's MFE program?
And if it does not, should I take a GRE MATH SUB?
I know stochastic is so important in MFE program. I am worried that I don’t have a chance to take the class.
Thanks for answering :)
 
Looks good except for no stochastic processes or partial diff eq.

First I don't believe the GRE Math test covers these 2 topics and second I've heard it is very difficult and it's not worth taking unless you can get say 85%+

You have covered a majority of the prereqs and can probably get into a MFE somewhere with what you listed but may want to try for more math for top programs

may want to try for more math for top programs
I dont know what the specific way to try for more math?
 
Take more math courses.

I might not take math courses more than i had mentioned below, since my school's policy don't accept taking other area's courses.
Do u think i need a Sub test if i only take the math courses as i mentioned?

Thanks for answering
 
I don't think the Sub test will add much to your application.

If you can't take more math classes then there isn't much you can do. But as I said, what you listed should be enough to get accepted somewhere.

Thanks a lot :)
