<t>I've met many people from all different backgrounds in the city. UCAS can be a little more flexible than what you mentioned - 22-26 UCAS and a 1st from a leading university in maths/physics/engineering/economics26-30 UCAS and a good 2.1 from a leading university in maths/physics/engineering/econo...

Why would you want to change position this soon when you've just gained a graduate trading position for a prop firm?

<t>Hi,I'm currently trying to consider what I should do with regards to not completing my MSc in financial maths at a top 10 UK university in 2002 (despite completing the course - I had to miss the final assessment due to been out of the country and missed the final credits to graduate, despite comp...
