Advice for undergraduate student trying to go into quant?

[SamsungProgrammer]

Well, I'm a 3rd year student who's majoring in computer science and I have worked at a startup with experience in Python and Java, my grades aren't so high, but 3.3, and I was wondering what I could do to increase my chances of getting into a MFE programs or prepare for a job in the quant field. On a side note I have passed a actuarial exam and will be sitting for one in a week. Do you guys think a actuarial internship or a C++ software internship will be more beneficial for me on the road to being a quant? What things should I do?

Do a math minor.

Do a math minor.

Oh that should be pretty easy, I just need one more class to get that. Anything else?

It's not about getting the minor. It's about the classes you take. I can get a math minor at my college without learning any difficult/relevant math at all.
