MFE Profile Evaluation

Hello,

I am a 2015 MBA graduate (Specialization: Finance and Valuation) working in an Asset Management Firm (where I program using VBA and MATLAB) in Canada since Graduation. My profile is as below:

Undergraduate GPA: 6.98/10 - Electrical and Electronics Engineering (NIT Trichy, India)
MBA GPA (McMaster University) - 3.71/4
CFA Level III Candidate

GRE - 325 (Verbal: 156; Quant: 169; AWA: 4)

I have significant programming experience during my projects in my MBA and during my undergraduate program. My GPA for the mathematical/Statistics courses in my Undergraduate is 7.8/10 and for my MBA is 4.0/4.0.

I need not give TOEFL as I am exempt from it.

My target Schools are:
1) Rutgers (Mathematical Finance)
2) Berkeley (MFE)
3) CMU (Computational Finance)
4) University of Toronto (Masters in Financial Economics)
5) New York University (Financial Mathematics)
6) Georgia Tech (Quantitative and Computational Finance Program)

I have been shortlisting only the BB target schools. My main concern is the profile required by these universities and whether I will be a suitable fit in their culture. I would appreciate it if you could tell me my chances in these universities based on my profile.

Thanks in advance.
