Hi All,

I am new to the forums and am looking for some advice.

I am a junior in a liberal art college considering MFE program seriously. Here is information about myself.
Major: Math with stats concentration, economic management
minor: computer science
GPA: 3.6
I have passed 4 actuarial exams and will do an actuarial internship in a consulting firm starting from Jan 2012. (actually it is the third actuarial exam that helps me make up my mind to apply MFE programs ) I also have done a CS internship in developing Android applications.

My plan is to pass 5 actuarial exams, get all the VEE credits and pass the first CFA before graduation.

My goal is to get into a MFE program for graduate study. My question is:
What kinds program might I have a good chance to get in?
Since I am a junior now and I am almost done with the math and economics courses, I have time to finish a third major in Computer Science? How much will that help?
I am very interested in U of toronto and waterloo? Do you guys have any reccomendations to prepare for them better.

Looking forward to hear from you all.

Regards
