thanks a lot. I will check out those other two forums.

If you knew anything about graduate school in mathematics you would know that US schools generally accept students only for PhD programs and I wasn't sure of whether I wanted to do a full PhD. Oxford is one of the few elite institutions which offers Masters degrees in mathematics. Oxford...

It is interesting how so many people think that mathematics is all about number crunching when such thinking could not be further from the truth. I don't believe I made any references to "discipline from grad school helping in trading" after people told me that a different kind of discipline...

I need the opportunity before I can do anything. I hope that Oxford will provide me with that opportunity by getting me interviews for trading positions with salary. Thanks

you are wrong about that buddy....

I guess my reasons for wanting to attend Oxford are of a more personal nature since I am not from a wealthy family and someone of my social class doesn't often find the opportunity to study with the Queen's children (grand children?). I will only be spending a year at Oxford so its actually...

That got a laugh out of me. Thanks

Would you stake your trading career on me being completely full of crap? Say it now: if FreedomPhighter is telling the truth and actually was admitted to Oxford then I will never again have a winning trade...... Go ahead, post it on here. Call me superstitious but I believe there is a...

Thanks. I have held from the outset that I want Oxford to help me get a foot in the door and that my pure math track isn't likely to give me any insight to the trading game.

Truthfully, I've had a few beatings but am proud of almost every one of them cause I believe they served to make me a stronger person. Let me say this: I was usually not the offenser. I look forward to the Oxford experience, however the so called blokes will treat me (i don't expect to...

Thanks again.

correction: "...they make fools out of themselves..." who's the fool now? or should i say: whose the fool now? LOL

I will most likely be going to Oxford. My question was whether my resume would be more favorably looked upon with Oxford on it (i.e. will i get more interviews for salaried trading positions even though my emphasis was pure mathematics). Thanks for the advice.

I think you need a 150 or so these days.

That proves my point exactly.....most of the members of this forum can't seem to handle the fact that there are educated people who wish to delve into trading. It is clear to me that anyone with a good education who makes note of it on here will be bashed (as you yourself stated: "...a few...

That is correct! I did not apologize for posting my question on many DISTINCT forums. I wasn't aware of the connection between forums and that posting to all of them would be construed as posting multiple questions to a single one. I now see that there is but a single forum with many threads...

Thank you very much. I know that I have been given the opportunity of a lifetime (especially since I am not from a wealthy family and actually am a graduate of the public school system). I think I'd be crazy to give up this opportunity for a $55,000 job (in all likeliehood, that $55,000 job...

ok then

I am actually a pretty good boxer (i was an amateur boxer for a few years as a teenager). If you want I can demonstrate for you....sucker

Thanks but unfortunately, most of my posts were defensive as most of the traders on here were writing negative remarks to me. Oh well, envy is alive and well; that's one conclusion I can come to after todays experience....
