Thank you for going into the specifics of what I should take note. Knowing what you said, will be doing my best to bump up my GPA while I'm in university in hopes of achieving that level of prowess. Do you have any clue what the market for Quant Traders are like in SG? Because it doesn't seem to really exist(following various searches on Google), and seems to be very big FI focused, particularly in the US.
