Arjun Aravind · Answer

Hi! This info was taken from NYU:-
To be considered for admission into the MS in Financial Engineering program, students must have a Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited institution and proven proficiency in:
Linear Algebra, Probability Theory, Multivariable Calculus (Advanced), Applied Statistics and Computer Programming

If you have done such courses in your undergrad, only then would they consider you for admissions. Financial engineering is quite a demanding course, and you need to be strong in your mathematical, analytical and problem solving skills. (of course engineers can take admission here!)
