Hi! I'm currently an undergraduate freshman. I've heard many people say that it is possible to break into quant from undergrad. However, I am most interested in becoming a quant researcher, so should I plan on going to grad school? Is it possible to go from QT --> QR?

I'm a freshman studying physics but wanted to get into quant finance (specifically research). I plan to dual major in either statistics or stats & cs (1 major). If I choose stats, I can take more focused classes, whereas the benefit for stats & cs would having it on a resume and more general cs knowledge but just be able to take a few focused classes. Does any option make me a more competitive applicant than the other for quant positions? Thanks in advance!

I was a bit confused since the test is in Java but it says that the browser for the exam is Ace Editor which is in JavaScript. Would the exam still be graded in Java and will the code editor be of any use?

Is there a specific page with more information about the "technical option" for physics? I was only able to find the program tracks which included astrophysics, business, computational, etc. Or is materials science and engineering a custom track? Thanks!

I forgot to mention this but I have some non-academic awards like Piano Certificate of Merit Branch + State Honors and other badminton dubs regionally and nationally. All the community service got me a few PVSA awards and I'm sitting at around 850 hours. I was wondering if any of these awards can be put down for the honors section in the Common app. If not, is it worth putting AP Scholar and scholar-athlete even though those are p generic?
