How can I get into a good financial engineering/computational finance masters program with 3.6 undergrad CGPA from Electrical En

Hi, I am doing my undergrad in Electrical Engineering. I am on my last semester and hopefully graduate with 3.6-3.62 CGPA. I am hoping to go to a good US school for MS in Finanacial Engineering/ Mathematical/Computational Financial. Is it possible with my CGPA? How much do I have to score in the GRE? Can I manage scholarship? Any helpful suggestion is welcomed....:-)

ps. I have a capstone project and doing my original research. I have good letter of recommendation and an internship from one of the biggest company in my country.

Definitely India most probably got the recommendation to come to this site from some dude on Quora. Quantnet is a more suitable site. It also has an acceptance tracker and displays their score and some other details. Master programs usually don't have scholarships nor offer any kind of aid.
