Mfe is my last option but what are my chances

I go to university of waterloo in canada and I had plenty of full time front office role position interviews particularly in s&t,prop trading, quant trading (think sig,Jane Street, Optiver). Unfortunately got no offers. Now I am gunning for mfe because I think that's the only option left if I still want to work a front office role in trading. Ideally now I want to be in usa.

My stats: 83% overall gpa in mathematical finance ( from what I have heard 3.7 I am not sure) My last 2 year gpa however is 90 which is definitely 4.0 so I have a 4.0 in all my junior and senior classes. Work experienxe: worked as a quant for a reinsurer/ investment management firm that did hedging for insurance clients. Did this for 1 year. Extracurriculars: on a varsity sports team.

How competitive am I for : Mit Princeton Cornell Cmu Colombia mfe Baruch Berkeley

Thanks
