will I likely to get into these programs?

Hello everyone,

I will be graduating as a double major student in Computer Engineering and Industrial Engineering from a local #1 global #200 university with a 3.5 gpa.

I interned at various firms like Mckinsey, ML-internship at Mastercard, a FX-desk internship, a ML in finance related graduation project for a big bank, a big4 deal advisory etc. as my emerging country do not have much options in terms of trading and international company availability - so, I went for as much as internationally recognized corporate internships. Aside from that I built two trading algorithms and strategies that are actually profitable in my emerging countries' volatile market. - (I tried to get a goldman london internship from abroad and was eliminated in the final interview)

I will graduate in 2026 Feb and I am looking to study in a top masters program to be able to good job prospects either in US or UK.

What do you think of my chances of maybe getting into the following programs (especially considering my two engineering double major influenced but a little low gpa)

Princeton Mfin of course

CMU

MIT Mfin

Stanford MS in Mathematical & Computational Finance

Oxford MSc in Mathematical and Computational Finance

Chicago FinMath

Sales & Trading Career Roadmap (optional)

“John listened before giving advice. I told him I had accepted an offer at Bank of America but was still interested in JLL and Wellington. Instead of telling me what to do, he asked what I wanted from my career and helped me think about which path would give me more options. I also liked that he was honest about what he knew and didn’t know. He gave me a clear reason to keep working toward JLL, while reminding me that Bank of America was still a good place to start. When I practiced my interview answer, he told me what worked and gave me one simple way to improve it. That made the feedback easy to use. Most of all, John made me feel less stressed about figuring everything out right now. He offered to help with a mock interview too, which meant a lot to me. ”

Sales & Trading Mock Interview

“The mentor provided extremely detailed and thoughtful feedback throughout our session. What I appreciated most was that the advice was not generic. He took the time to understand my background, past experiences, and the specific roles I am currently recruiting for, and then tailored his suggestions accordingly. He also connected many of his recommendations to his own professional background and experiences, which made the feedback much more practical and credible. Instead of simply telling me what to change, he explained why certain answers or approaches would be more effective and how an interviewer might interpret them. He also shared specific examples from his own experience to illustrate his points. I came away from the session with a much clearer understanding of both my strengths and the areas I should improve, as well as several concrete ways to strengthen my interview preparation. Overall, the session was extremely helpful, personalized, and actionable, and I would definitely work with him again.”
