I got into analytics while using the quant investment site Quantopian.
Mostly you use python numpy and scipy to analyze a large time series data set (stock market) to predict pricing while having a low correlation to the overall market movement.
I had some success and won their 6 month contest, but I still feel like a bit of a hack. I'd like to move into the financial quantitative analysis industry.
Would you say this GT program would be a good stepping stone?

In some ways. There's a class called ML For Trading that's very fun and like an intro to computational trading. The professor runs a company in that space.
