Hi all,
I am writing wondering if i have a chance of being accepted to State's top Master of Finance/Master of Financial Engineering programs in schools such as Columbia, MIT, Cornell, etc.
Here are some stats about myself:
-Just finished third year University of Toronto's Engineering Science Financial Engineering with majority of marks ranging from 75 to 90, and one mark in the 60. As a result, Third year GPA got pulled down to a 3.4.
-Extensive job experience as a software optimization/developer at Microsoft, risk analyst at SunLife, equity trader at TD.
-Working on an intense industry related Undergrad Thesis. Along with good relationship with serveral professors.
-GRE scores: Quantitative: 170/170, Verbal: 165/170, Writing: 5/6.
I had to work during third year by doing some apple app programming work to put myself through rent and food. As a result, GPA took some hit.
Nevertheless, I am really worried that my GPA is just too low to be compared with other applicant's perfect 4.0 GPA, along with the 60 that i got in third year.
What do you guys think? Any advice is great.
