So, do I have a shot at a top 10 like baruch?

My finance professor thinks its unrealistic, but I want a few more opinions

4th year undergrad
finishing B.A Math, B.A Econ University of Florida with a minor in actuarial science
3.68 GPA

I've taken Linear Algebra, Probability, Stochastic Processes, statistical theory, advanced calculus, 2 semesters of differential equations, interest theory, an applied regression course, 3 semesters of calculus, and a graduate level econometric methods course. Soon to take PDEs, Numerical Analysis, and another econometrics methods course.

Have yet to take the GRE, but I'm confident I can at least get a 760-800 quant score, judging from practice tests i have taken. Not sure about verbal, but I am not a bad writer.

My professor implies (and I am also concerned) that I do not have enough exposure to programming (outside of statistical packages) and exposure to stochastic differential equations and stochastic partial differential equations. Those are both graduate courses at my school, and I would basically need a master's degree in applied math just to take them.
