To clarify I'll give tell you my profile: I'm an American Citizen, but was born and raised in Italy. - UG: in Italian target, but not known internationally - GPA: because of a strange conversion between Italian and Us system 3.2 but i graduated summa cum laude - Grad: Ms in Financial Economics, in the same Uni - Grad Gpa: 3, I had 3,6 before my last two exams that i give wile working in NYC for an Hedge Fund - Work Experience: 4 month internship in the NYC office of a English HF; Currently Prop Trader and and limited responsibility in a mutual fund for a small Italian Bank - Extracurricular: a lot!!

My goal is to work in AM/HF in the States, but it seems that they trash my CV once they read were I studied.

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Duke has a good program and brand so you'll have more of a shot than you do now. That being said, I'd try and land some relevant unpaid internships now at the very least. You already have a lot of education and Duke alone isn't going to get you the job.
