I'm going back to where you started and reevaluate it
Hi all, good day. I am an Indian candidate, from a top IIT (B/D/K) with a dual degree in mathematics, with a CGPA of 8.89. I have done mostly pure mathematical courses in my undergrad. The courses I have done (not limited to) are including topology, probability theory, real+complex analysis, measure theory, functional analysis, ODE+PDE, differential geometry, numerical analysis, numerical methods in PDEs, mathematical finance, and some introductory statistics / ML courses.
I have a publication in a reputed computer vision journal (top 5-10), which tackles probability theory and it's...
Your stats seem fine. The issue may be with LoR, personal statement, etc.
I would take the suggestions by
@MikeLawrence and others by at least take the C++ course here. Many of our members who got into Chicago and other top programs take the C++, Python and Options courses here. Some took pre-MFE courses from Baruch to refresh and strengthen their readiness.
I know it's a big investment of time and money but it's is necessary if you want to get a shot in industry.
Remember, getting into Chicago or any other program is just a small first step. Are you invested in yourself so that you are ready for interview on first day of class?
I'm sure with proper hindsights and preparation, you will get better result next year if you decide.
