I want to apply for the MFE program at UCLA, Columbia, Baruch etc. and I NEED an assessment of my profile. Please share your opinion and any suggestions are welcomed.

Background -
1. Cleared both levels of Financial Risk Management (FRM) certification from GARP.
2. Have done my Bachelors in Business Administration with a Major in Finance and Minor in Economics (Relevant Coursework for MFE include - Calculus, Linear Algebra and Matrix Theory, Econometrics and Various other Finance Courses)
However my weak point is my undergraduate GPA- 6.67/10
I have always been top of my class, I actually received a merit scholarship for my degree as well, but was focused more on internships and certifications.
3. In a course of three years, I have completed 5 internships (1 at a Fintech startup, 1 at a wealth management firm, 1 at an international consulting firm in finance, 1 at a stock brokerage firm, and 1 in research services)
4. I am currently preparing for GRE and according to mock tests expect a score of around Q168, V165
5. I am also taking certificate courses from Coursera in C++ , VBA and Python


Please share your thoughts!!!
Thanks
 
How were you top of the class if your gpa was 6.67? GRE scores should be as high as possible. Try for full in quant. Your finance background is good. But MFE programs want good math background as well. Take pre-mfe courses if your ug grades are bad in those courses.
