Whether to apply for MFE program or not

[Ben Campbell]

Hello guys
I'm currently majoring in Mathematics(Statistics Stream) and minoring in Business, Actuarial Science.
I'm a second-year undergraduate student who expected to graduate with around 3.2 GPA with no internship experience.
Should I apply for any of MFE program? If yes, which university has higher chance for me?
Or should I gain some relevant work experience after my graduation before applying MFE?
Or should I purse postgraduate studies(MPhil or phD) before applying MFE?

Thanks a lot! Hope I can get some help

Aww don't cry

Questions: Which school are you graduating with a 3.2? That makes a big difference. No internship and a low GPa will be a hard sell. Make sure you ace the GREs, and perhaps take some extra courses to boost your GPA.

Or should I purse postgraduate studies(MPhil or phD) before applying MFE?

Never. Don't waste your time. You have your math background; all you need is to improve your image; not waste money/time on more schooling.

And yes get work experience.

Thanks for your reply.
I am studying in The University of Hong Kong.
I would like to ask what work experience is helpful since it is not possible for me to enter ibank for such a low GPA.
