<p>Couple of questions and chance me-</p>

<p>June 2012 graduate of UVA School of Engineering.
Double Major: BS Systems Engineering- 3.4 GPA
BA Mathematics- 3.3 GPA
Dec. 2012 graduate of UVA School of Arts & Sciences
MA Mathematics- 3.4 GPA</p>

<p>I have been working (part-time and now full time) in quantitative research group for local company and love utilizing both my math and systems engineering background and would like to continue my educational adventure by focusing addition graduate work in financial engineering, computational finance, or quantitative finance.</p>

<p>My questions are: -Which degree should I be looking into? Master's or Phd in Financial Engineering, ORFE, Computational Finnace, or Quantitative Finance?
-Given the data points I mentioned above, would I have a realistic chance to be accepted to MIT, Princeton, Stanford, UPenn, or CMU. My research indicates that these are the top graduate schools for Financial Engineering.</p>

<p>Any thoughts are appreciated</p>

<p>Columbia, NYU and Baruch’s are all top 5 as well. </p>

<p>Additionally, I don’t think anyone on this forum would be able to properly advise you since this is primarily for undergraduate admissions. Try the graduate schools place.</p>
