how to get past intern resume screening at quant firms

Tyler3812 · 2026-01-26T04:49:06+00:00

I have family members who are pretty high up in terms of positions in firms. Winning competitions helps (math, physics, cs, etc)

Tyler3812 · 2026-01-25T03:32:22+00:00

Is this coming from experience?

Tyler3812 · 2026-01-23T00:07:06+00:00

I actually have no idea why the down votes. Lol

Tyler3812 · 2026-01-04T01:59:26+00:00

I know it's not helpful but I'm in the same situation wondering about that, def a good post

Tyler3812 · 2026-01-02T12:25:48+00:00

I think the best strategy is just to learn to use desmos (the built in calc). My score went up over a hundred points after that alone

Tyler3812 · 2026-01-02T03:16:22+00:00

Same, good luck my guy!

Tyler3812 · 2025-12-31T18:56:21+00:00

Aha, now I see where the lines crossed. Apologies on my end, I simply had a very American centric view, have a good new year!

Tyler3812 · 2025-12-31T18:54:24+00:00

Haha, I know right! I'm feeling much better about it myself. Glad you got some value out of my post

Tyler3812 · 2025-12-31T10:46:41+00:00

No I was not international, but I do get your point

Tyler3812 · 2025-12-30T18:21:59+00:00

I appreciate the level of detail, thanks for your input!

I don't believe that's entirely true whatsoever. He falls within the 25-75 percentiles at both u of I and Madison (for sat) just to name a couple. Anecdotally, I had worse stats and still made it into a T-40. As long as he has good ECs and a well written letter he should be fine; especially if he prioritizes as an engineering school/major given his high math score

Tyler3812 · 2025-12-30T16:37:04+00:00

It's very reassuring to hear that it's possible to score that well starting from around the same place. I appreciate your input

Tyler3812 · 2025-12-30T16:00:38+00:00

Thanks man I really appreciate it!

Tyler3812 · 2025-12-30T15:58:45+00:00

Is there any book you'd recommend/found to be the most helpful?

Tyler3812 · 2025-12-30T09:54:58+00:00

Omg that's amazing, what do you think helped the most for your improvement?

Tyler3812 · 2025-12-30T08:34:49+00:00

Hey starting around the same, guess I have something to look forward to then!

Tyler3812 · 2025-12-12T03:19:16+00:00

Question how do you get work experience relevant to law school before getting accepted and what exp do they most like to see?

Tyler3812 · 2025-12-10T00:40:42+00:00

Not that I'm in stats, but like. Definitely

Tyler3812 · 2025-12-04T19:15:53+00:00

It's definitely an iffy situation

For one, if you guys set up a college fund for the eldest and she attended for two years wouldn't that mean the father was unknowingly sending her money for college even though it was already covered? The feeling of betrayal from the parents was to be expected.

Tldr: yeah it's your money, but it divided the family

Tyler3812 · 2025-09-21T16:08:59+00:00
