Hey guys, I'm in the middle of the application process for MFE programs, but I'm a little bit worried on my chances as I'm only applying to 5 programs. Would really appreciate if you guys can take a look at my profile and give some feedback!
School: UCB, major in Computer Science & Statistics, GPA: 3.79/4.0
Courses: Calculus (A+), Multi-Calculus (A), Linear Algebra (A), Machine Learning (A), Calculus based Statistics (A-), Stochastic process (A-), with a bunch of other programming/math/stat courses. Proficient in Python, Java, and C.
Work experiences: 1 Big name Chinese Asset management intern (4 months) + 2 PE interns in China + 1 quant research intern (didn't do a lot)
Target School: MIT MFin, CMU MSCF, Columbia MFE, Yale Asset Management, UChicago Finmath
I know my gpa is dragging me down, but I'm kind of curious if the admission committee will consider the fact that Berkeley has insane gpa deflation, especially in cs courses. I think I did pretty well in the courses that MFE requires, and my internships are somehow on track I guess. Plz leave some thoughts and I would love to hear any feedbacks on my profile. Many thanks!

, I think one should always apply to more programs than just the target schools. I assume you are not just applying to your 5 target schools. Good Luck !
