Which colleges should I target with GRE 326 (161 V & 165 Q) for MS in Quantitative Finance/Financial Engg?

[Coruscator]

I am a Computer Science Graduate. I worked for 14 months in Data Science firm mainly as a developer of a Trading Back-testing platform in R. I also spent time in Research and Paper trading multiple Statistical Algorithms on the NYSE. I have a score of 326 on my GRE (161 V & 165 Q). I have done various online courses in Advanced Mathematics (Multivariable Calculus, Probability, Stochastic Calculus) and Machine Learning. I am proficient in R, Python, Matlab and C++. What are my prospects? As most colleges require 167-170 in quants and I got a 165, I am stuck as to which colleges should I target for MS in Quantitative Finance/Financial Engg? Any help is appreciated.

You seem like a strong candidate for a lot of top programs, but how old are you?

Just wondering since it does effect your application. I recommend applying for UCLA and Berkeley mfe as they are more geared toward applicants with work experience.
