Hi my name is Lindizwi H Dhlamini(known as Mr L). I am a South African. I would like to first thank everyone for posting comments. I have learn a lot from reading the comments and gain an interest in this field of Quants. I would like to know how can I increase the chance of being accepted to the MFE programme that is advertise here. I have completed a B.Sc in Applied Mathematics and Statistics in University of KwaZulu-Natal (in South Africa). Today I have just been informed that  I have passed all the modules in B.Sc Honours in Applied Mathematics(in UKZN) including the  the Honours project(my honours project topic was : Pricing American Options ).I planned next year to do my Masters in UKZN.The reason is I only did one module in which was Introduction to Financial Mathematics at my Undergraduate .Now I am so interested in this field I want to learn almost anything I can be well-rounded .That is why I think it better if I first do my M.Sc then apply for an MFE course.But now what mark should I target at MSc and also how can I apply for for  funding on that side.Any comment is welcome to say if there is a better way to get to MFE that could be better than  the planned I have is welcome.And also can someone tell what does it means  of 2:1 ration of pass here in South Africa we use symbols as follows A: 75-100%,   B:70-74%   , C : 60-69% D : 50-59% then any thing below 50% is a fail in university or the following way is used

  00-49 %  Fail      50-59 % Pass Third class  ,  60-69 % Pass second class (Lower division) ,  70-74% PAss Second Class(upper Division)    , 75 and above (Pass-First class)
