Can someone please help evaluate my profile?

1) GRE (170Q/ 153V)
2) Undergraduate from one the top NITs (7.77/10)
3) A Masters degree in Economics from a tier one university in India. (8.32/10)
4) FRM Level 1 cleared
5) Working for Wells Fargo in Auto/PPNR models.( Just started 3 months ago)

I have a bachelors degree knowledge of maths.(Real, Topology, Linear, Statistics, Probability, Measure Theory and little bit of stochastic calculus). I hope i can get some LORs from my professors who have taught me math-heavy subjects.

How good are my chances into getting into a good program? Do I have any chance in any of the top 10?

Any suggestions or criticisms please?

Solid Math background,what's your programming knowledge like? That would be quite important for the top 10.
Overall I think you have a great shot at some of the top 5 too if you write your essays well and get good recommendation letters.
 
Thanks a lot for the reply
I have only a basic knowledge of python, but nevertheless am working towards it. I am not well versed in anything else, did some C++ during my school but no progress after that.
Is focusing on just one programming language, like python good enough?
 
Yeah Python would be nice. Extensive knowledge/experience in one programming knowledge is enough. Even though,C++ or Java would be ideal,Python works too as there's a lot of data science coursework in the top programs now. Just make sure you your recommenders speak about your programming prowess as well.
