Another reason that
NUS maths degree with QF major may not be the best choice is because aside from the mathematical models, you would also need to be interested in the financial markets. For example, following what's going on in the financial world, which will be beneficial in your interviews. Taking Biz/Acc will bring you closer to the financial markets.
