Profile Evaluation for MFE

[JonesUCF]

Hello all. I’m entering my senior year of undergrad and want to pursue an MFE, MMF, MQF, etc after graduation. I was hoping I could get some advice/criticism on my profile.

University of Central Florida – 3.58 GPA
Mathematics major – Economics track
Computer Science minor

GRE: 169Q, 161V

Relevant Coursework:
Calc I, II (AP credit)
Stat Methods I (AP)
Calc III, (A)
Ordinary Differential Equations (B)
Logic and Proof in Math (B+)
Matrix and Linear Algebra (B)
Linear Algebra (A)
Stat Theory I (A)
Stat Theory II (B)
Intro to C (A)
Computer Science I (A-)
Econometrics (A)
Intermediate Microeconomics (A)
Intermediate Macroeconomics (A)
International Microeconomics (B)

Future Relevant Coursework:
Probability Random Processes

Advanced Calculus
Financial Mathematics
Computer Science II

Programming experience: Python, C, Java, Assembly, Stata

No relevant internships or research experience

Programs that I’m interested in: Columbia MAFN, Columbia MSOR, Cornel MFE, Stanford MCF, Georgia Tech QCF, Toronto MMF, Rutgers MQF, UIUC MFE, USC MSMF. I plan on applying to 6-8 of those schools once I do more extensive research and (hopefully) get feedback from this post. Particularly, I would like opinions on how high I should “reach” in regards to applying to the top programs without it just being a waste of money/time. I know my lack of work/research experience and where I studied undergrad will be the weakest areas that will be on my application

Any insight/advice/criticism is greatly appreciated.
