PS Personal Statements are an opportunity for applicants to express themselves in areas that may not have been reflected in other portions of the application. The topics outlined in the application are purposely vague to allow for such expression. The Admissions Committee asks that applicants limit their statements to the word counts of 500 to 750 words ascribed to each question. MSQF students should include information on why they are well trained and positioned to enter the quantitative field. This can be demonstrated through previous coursework and relevant experience (if any). GPA There are no minimum required GPA. Candidates are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. For general reference, however, this table provides a breakdown of the average GPA of our fall 2016 incoming class of Master of Science is 3.42.
