GPA/GRE certainly have some weights, but also depending on the background courses you took from Bachelor's (stats, cs, etc), projects/work experiences.

Hi Bryce,

For Claremont Graduate University, you would definitely stand out as a viable candidate for our program. I can't speak on behalf of other institutions, but I can say that we also have a few prerequisites, some of which can be completed as part of your program or beforehand. This includes: Calculus I-III, Linear Algebra, Financial Accounting, Probability, and some programming background.

If you would like to speak more, feel free to contact our Assistant Director of Admissions Sean Gomez.

Thank you

Given that I have a less than stellar cGPA and I am coming from Canada, would I be competitive at top Financial Engineering programs in the USA?

I think so; 168Q is decent. Many FE students are international, so I don't think being from Canada would hurt you.

And also I definitely wouldn't settle for a program with an 11% placement rate charging 80k tuition that's soliciting applicants online.
