Need help with polishing my resume for Masters in Quant

Hey there! I'm currently a 2nd year undergraduate student at a tier-1 university in India. (my total course duration is 4 years, so still ~2 years to go for completing my undergrad.)
I'll be getting Bsc.(Hons) Computer Science at the end of 4 years of my undergrad.

My current CGPA is 8.2/10 and, expected CGPA at the end of 4 years is >8.5/10.

I would be graduating in june 2027 and would want to apply for fall 2027 intake

I'm inclined towards EU -- Oxford/Imperial/Cambridge specifically.

Oxford requires a first-class or strong upper second-class undergraduate degree with honours (which means 8.0 out of 10.0 for my country-India for strong upper second-class undergraduate degree with honours.)

Oxford neither requires GRE not any publications/research papers

Apart from this, I completed an Internship at Oxford as an AI & Deep learning intern under a postdoc fellow (by the end of my 1st year)
Right now, working as a Quant Research Intern at a relatively smaller Indian Firm -- working with Crypto

What do you think about my profile? Your guidance could genuinely help me get in!

The only Indian applicant who got accepted to Oxford MCF program this year is @ram_havya who got a 9.75/10 from IIT.
Other admitted applicants seem to have a degree in math or stats. It appears they favor candidates with more mathematical maturity who can handle the course work there.

Hello everyone,

I’m a quantitative researcher with nearly two years of experience, and I’ve applied to several master’s programs this year. Last month, I was offered a place in Oxford's Mathematical and Computational Finance (MCF) program, and I’m in the process of arranging funding (around £70k). However, just a few days ago, I also received an offer from EPFL for their Master's in Financial Engineering (MFE) program, which comes with an Excellence scholarship covering nearly all tuition and living expenses.
Both programs offer courses that align with my career goals, and I’m...
