Hi
I need someone to look over my profile and give me an idea of the realistic colleges I can apply to for an MFE programme. I am working full time in London so my ideal choice is either the part time courses at LSE (preferably this due to the uni name) or Cass, but for better chances of a job I am also considering full time programmes at top US colleges like CMU.
Age: 22
Education: 1st Class Honours Computer Science Glasgow University. Did some introductory Multivariable calculus and a final year Machine Learning module at university, these were the only statistics heavy courses I took.
Work: 2 years on the IT graduate programme of a major IB in London, working as a developer on low latency server side systems pricing vanilla interest rate swaps and bond options using core Java/SQL. I know a bit of KDB, MATLAB and functional programming and did C/C++ at university.
GMAT: 720
My main motivation for a MFE degree is to move into a quant analyst role, at the moment I work along side quants but don't get to build any core pricing models, and that is what interests me. Any advice on what colleges are realistic for me and what I can do to strengthen my application would be much appreciated.
Regards
