Fordham MSQF Interview

[atharvab]

Hello all,

I have my interview for Fordham's MSQF in a couple of days. I'd greatly appreciate any insights, advice, or suggestions from those who have gone through the process before. Specifically, I'm curious about the interview format, common questions asked, and any tips for preparation.

Thanks in advance!

Hey! I had my interview a month ago, and they asked both behavioral and technical questions (calculus, linear algebra, probability theory, and brain teasers). The interview took me about 30min. I cannot share any specific details due to the ethics, but I can reassure you that the admissions process with them is quite enjoyable and you won’t feel any pressure. Just stay calm and maybe refresh your knowledge of basic calc/stats. Good luck!
