Which of these MFE programs could I get in to?

My info:

Degree: BS Major: Quantitative Finance Minors: Math, Economics University: James Madison University

GPA: 3.3 Junior, Senior year GPAs were 4.0 (So 4x president's list) ^ ^ ^ Decided to turn everything around after making 2.2 and 1.9 in my sophomore year semesters.

GRE: Quantitative: 800

Work experience: - 1 summer job at a fortune 500 technology company as an 'engineer' - 1 summer internship at a boutique investment bank

ECs: - 2 years as an analyst on the Madison Investment Fund - 2 years member of Financial Management Association - had a few amateur MMA fights.. haha i don't think that'll help me get into a master's program. maybe traders would like it though.

Which of these programs do you think I'd be admitted to?

Carnegie Mellon University, Columbia University, Cornell University, New York University, Princeton University, Rutgers University, Stanford University, University of California at Berkeley, University of Chicago, University of Michigan, Baruch College, Boston University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Oxford, and the University of Toronto

If I applied to all of them, do you think I'd get into at least a few?

Thanks!

What do you think about the University of Amsterdam? I'd love to do a year there because the architecture is amazing in its 'sidwaywardiness'. However, I was thinking that there would be much less job prospect opportunities from there..

 

I'm sure at least one of them would take you. Your GRE score is good and as long as you noted on your resume 4.0 GPA Junior and Senior year it would make up for the other shitty GPA's. You have good WE too so I have every faith that you can get into at least one.
