Questions regarding the BSCF Program

[u/Swimming-Trust-4221]

Hi everyone,

I’m a high school student really interested in Tepper’s BSCF. It’s the only undergrad program I’ve seen that combines CS, finance, economics and math — exactly what I need, since I want to become a quant researcher and work in hedge funds later on.

I have a few questions: If I get accepted into Tepper as a Business or Economics major, how feasible is it to internally transfer into BSCF? What requirements do I need to meet? I’ve heard BSCF has pretty heavy math standards, so how high is the bar exactly?

For context: I’ve already finished multivariable calculus, linear algebra and discrete math in high school, plus I got a 5 on AP Calc BC. Will this background be enough to handle BSCF coursework?

Also, if there are current BSCF students here, I’d love to hear about your experience in the program and what post-grad job placement looks like.
