Chance of Admission to WU Vienna MSc Quantitative Finance

Hey I am waiting for the 3rd deadline results for the qfin masters at WU Wien. I hold a MEng in Electronics engineering with a 7.5/10 cgpa (top 20%), got 4 recommendation letters (from my maths, bussiness, programming and thesis supervisor professors), I have almost 3 years of professional software engineering experience, my thesis was on EMG signal processing and classification where I built the sensors and the machine learning model to read and understand hand movements. I have also volunteered in a university built satellite project funded by ESA and also attended their cubesat summer school.

I want to change the scope of my career as I think there is more money in finance rather than traditional Software Engineering, at least in Europe. Do you think I'm going to get accepted? The anxiety is killing me :(

Also is WU a good school if I want to go to the big finance hubs of Europe as a quant later on?
