Hello,
I am a 2015 MBA graduate (Specialization: Finance and Valuation) working in an Asset Management Firm (where I program using VBA and MATLAB) in Canada since Graduation. My profile is as below:
Undergraduate GPA: 6.98/10 - Electrical and Electronics Engineering (NIT Trichy, India)
MBA GPA (McMaster University) - 3.71/4
CFA Level III Candidate
GRE - 325 (Verbal: 156; Quant: 169; AWA: 4)
I have significant programming experience during my projects in my MBA and during my undergraduate program. My GPA for the mathematical/Statistics courses in my Undergraduate is 7.8/10 and for my MBA is 4.0/4.0.
My target Schools are:
1) Rutgers (Mathematical Finance)
2) Berkeley (MFE)
3) CMU (Computational Finance)
4) University of Toronto (Masters in Financial Economics)
5) New York University (Financial Mathematics)
6) Georgia Tech (Quantitative and Computational Finance Program)
I have been shortlisting only the BB target schools. My main concern is the profile required by these universities and whether I will be a suitable fit in their culture. I would appreciate it if you could tell me my chances in these universities based on my profile.
Thanks in advance.

Hey there!
So overall your profile is pretty good. You come from a good school (although GPA is a bit on the low side), with a solid GRE (and good that the quant is very high). I think your range of schools is also quite fair. You have some tougher schools and some easier. So that's good.
Otherwise if you have good extras (like internships, volunteer work, startup experience, extra curricular activities, sports)... it can be a bonus.
Feel free to drop us a line for a profile evaluation!
