你这个条件可能学校定位要往50名后面走了.奖学金别想了,无论是 MSF 还是 math 的 master 的奖学金都非常难拿.

握手吧。。。。我也是这个情况，一个学的特别文，但是有一颗转理工的心的人，现在也挺郁闷的，觉得自己很可能许多学校的先修课程都不达标吧（虽然我还是会厚脸皮去申请的）。我正在挨个看一些学校的先修课要求，哪个先修课要求低，我就试试哪一家好了。感觉虽说文转理非常艰难，但是熬过去了，工作会好找不少。

1. Yes, but only those with accreditation. and you need a lot, really a lot.
[estimated: (junior, must) calculus I/II/III (III is multivariate), linear algebra, prob, stat, C++. (senior, very helpful for those less quantitative one. Must for any solid MFE.) at least a few more advanced math/stat course, like differential equation, numerical analysis, stochastic process, time series]

2. well, a 4.0 in LLB wont show your quantitative skill anyway.

3. both are weak signal. people will expect those with a law degree with better language skill (e.g. T > 105 / 110, and a much higher GRE AW). For the quantitative side, a 168+ (or at least 165+) GRE Q is a quite a basic requirement. (I really mean basic, i.e. you cant survive without that.)

4. this is a smaller concern.

P.S.
1. if you just care about career development in finance, instead of relocation to overseas, nor have any special academics interest in science, Law with application in Finance sounds to fit your background much better. Fighting for role on compliance, or corporate finance side is much more reasonable and is something that you can leverage your background much better.
(e.g. http://mlf.law.ox.ac.uk/, http://www.law.hku.hk/postgrad/llm/cfl/, and etc.....)

2. recommendation:

if you are survive in stuffs at this level, no one will doubt about you mathematical ability. Though I don't see any signal that you can till now.

3. never go down too much on the ranking / tiers for the financial industry.
you need to have the door open first (for interview...)
