Hi guys,
So I am an undergrad student at a tier 2 college (BU), I am doing a dual degree in Computer Eng (conc. in machine learning) + Econ.
I did an internship in a quantitative role at a small hedge fund (based internationally), and have a couple of side projects in Algo trading, Option pricing modeling.
I currently have like a 3.6, but going into my senior year I want to bump it up to a 3.65-7 at least (hopefully).
I am also giving my CFA L1, and GRE is 168Q, 158V.
I want to apply for grad school in my senior year, and I am interested in MFE programs or other QF programs, what are my chances for some of these programs, and which ones should I apply for?
And, my other important question is should I take relatively easier electives in my senior year to focus on improving my GPA or should I take more challenging grad ML classes and sacrifice my GPA for a possible better shot at these programs?
Any advice would be really appreciated!
Thank you.
