I'm an undergraduate finance and economics major with two more semesters left. I've recently been getting into quantitative finance as a result of taking a fixed income/derivatives class where we covered a broad range of material that I much enjoyed. I've also been learning python on the side for a year or so, and will be moving to either R or C++ next.
I want to get into quantitative finance as I find it very interesting and I've always been a numbers person. I'd like to either pursue academia or become a quant (if possible).
At this point I don't have much math skills other than a basic business calc class in college, a bunch of finance/eco classes, and I'll be taking an econometric class next semester.
What is my best course of action? Go back to undergrad for math or comp sci after I graduate? Try to get into an MFE program? I don't go to a very prestigious institution and my GPA is a 3.33, mostly from making bad grades in management/marketing/other b.s. classes.
From here, where would be a good direction to go? |

| If you're keen to do a quant masters, you could do a conversion course (e.g. this) rather than doing another batchelors. |

you could work through the relevant schaum's guides (on, say, probability, calculus, ode's ) and then see how you get on with something like this: warwick msc admission test , I'm not suggesting it would be easy but could save you yet more years of undergrad |

This also looks like a good option: http://www.londoninternational.ac.uk/courses/diploma-graduates/lse/diploma-graduates-mathematics.
