Profile Review/Beefing up my application

[suryasridhar]

I'm looking to apply to Baruch, Princeton, UC Berkeley and few others for an MSFE either in the Fall '24 or '25 depending on how my application fares.

I am 2022 grad from an NIT (tier-1 college in India) with a major in Computer Science major and a minor in Management. I have a CGPA of 7.71 on 10; and have completed most pre-requisites I can find (like multi-variate calculus, linear algebra, probability and coding with C++ as well) as part of my undergrad itself. I currently work as a developer in the capital markets division of a major US-based bank.

I haven't given my GRE yet, but I'm still prepping for it. My questions are:
1) Some of my grades for the math pre-requisites are not the strongest (ranging at a 6/10); is there anyway I can show more proficiency in it now?
2) Besides work, I don't have much to show on the finance aspect of things, how do I beef up my application there?
3) Should I be doing projects in the space to boost up my applications?
4) What chances do I stand at my current standing and what else can I do to better odds?

You could do the pre MFE math courses from UCB or Baruch. Also the C++ course here.
