My chances of getting into top msqf/mscf programs

[WannaBeQuantDeval]

Hello everyone,

I am a freshman at fairly low ranked university (UNLV) dual majoring in CS and Actuarial Sciences, I am interested in MS in quant finance programs at top schools. I wanted to know if chances are doomed just because I am from a low tier university?

Short list your top target programs.
Look at their admitted cohort profiles (either on the website or on QuantNet Tracker).
Prepare accordingly.
Everything is possible. You just need a plan and realistic expectation.
