GPA too low and missing some classes need your guidance

[Harkkam]

Long story short I want to be a quants analyst. I made mistakes in my undergraduate career pursuing medicine and wasting two years taking me 7 years to complete a bachelors. I graduated with an economics degree and I've gotten A's in all of my math classes.

Gpa 3.2

I'm taking the cfa part 1 and FRM test in nov, dec respectively this year.

I've also been working as a financial advisor which is a job that is purely sales and not what I want to do. I have 6 months experience so far. I'm 25 years old.

I want to use my MFE to work at a buy side fund hopefully in fixed income.

I haven't taken the GMAT yet. I realize I won't get the top schools and I am okay with that what I am looking to do is get into any MFE program that will take me.

My thinking is that I can find a job with a less prestigious firm and after graduating and working a few years experience starts to matter more.

I've take statistics courses, econometrics, cal 1 and cal 2 courses, corp finance but haven't taken linear algebra or differential equations which I know some schools require. Being that I'm out of school and graduated can I just take these classes at any school to add to my transcript to have pre requisites.

I hope someone can give me guidance on what to do

I've known people who went to ivy league with less than 3.2 GPA. If you have 4.0 GPA, Would ivy league simply take you? of course not. You still have chance, give it a try
