I have 2 choices currently:
1) Applying to MFE in the senior year of undergrad. In doing so, I would get better LORs from professors I worked with and my strong transcript/coursework would be a major plus
2) Taking a year of work ex: This would boost my resume, but in doing so, I would risk not getting strong LORs from professors and also, the work experience I have lined up isn't at a big name nor is it a quant role.
Hence, I was wondering if I should risk taking off an year for work experience and if that would significantly boost my application vs applying in my senior year itself
