From my four interviews, be well versed in verbal stat questions. Quick mental math of fractions and algebra helps.
"Why do you want to be a trader?" is a common question.
"What skills do you have that would make you a good trader?"
"Can you program?"
"What classes have you taken that you believe have prepared you to trade?"
I generally got a lot of resume related questions.
Be assertive agressive confident and prove to them you are the best man for the job.
Unless you're looking at Susquehanna, your school/GPA doesn't mean much. Here is a quote from the PBS documentatry of LTCM
STAN JONAS: Over the last several hundred years we've been able to identify some people that can do it better than others. They don't necessarily go to MIT; they don't necessarily have degrees in mathematics, though that doesn't automatically rule them out. They're the kind of people that can make that judgment that says, some thing's different here, I'm going back to harbor until I figure it out. Those are the kind of people you want running your money.
Whatever you do, don't give up. Make calls, find recruiters, go to career fairs, get business cards. Hunt these people doewn. Getting an interview does not come easy. These places get flooded with resumes and there is very little to make one stand out from another. Watch Boiler Room lol.
