-undergrad from top tier public school (gpa 3.49)
-has been working in actuarial career for <1yr

I desperately want to go to one of the MFE programs so that I can change my career into quant. However my gpa from undergrad is unimpressive and I wonder if there’s any way which I could recover them before I apply to any of the schools. Is GPA very important to enter MFE programs? Should I need to work longer in actuarial career to stand out as an applicant? Any insights please..
