Any coursework related to numerical analysis? If not, that's one area you can try to cover up before applications. Other than that, the profile looks pretty solid to me.

Nothing directly related to numerical analysis. I'll look into it though. Thanks.

I am biased, but numerical analysis/methods is a very important skill here.
