Financial Engineering Preperation
I am currently a rising junior at Emory University double majoring in Applied Mathematics and Economics with a current GPA of 3.74. I couldn't land an internship in finance this summer, but am working doing business development for a tech startup in Hong Kong. My goal is to be accepted into a top financial engineering program. Other than doing well on my GRE and landing a good internship after my junior year, I am wondering what else I can do to appeal to these programs. Any advice is very appreciated.
I'd suggest checking QuantNet website for more relevant advice. This forum is too much focused on IB/PE/Consulting whereas QuantNet often has school representatives answering your worries. I guess your quantitative knowledge must be good enough for top FE programs. However, since you didn't particularly mention it, I wonder what's your coding ability? If non existent, then pick up some Python and C#/C++ since these are something that at most FE schools are assumed for future students to be familiar with (at least at basic level).
Other than that, keep up your GPA and try to get some relevant experience (could be S&T at some BB).
