If you are aiming for MFE directly after undergrad, then I think, as you suspect, you would need a high GPA (3.7+) and a perfect GRE Quant score. Since you're still in h.s., perhaps just focus on developing good habits for now so you can set yourself up for college. I would recommend Cal Newport's 2 books on college success and his "Deep Work" -- it might help you learn more efficiently and maintain a higher GPA.If you don't achieve a super high GPA and end up somewhere around 3.6, you probably have a good chance of getting a decent first-job out of undergrad, and you can always re-apply after a year of working. The admissions standard is probably slightly lower for someone with work experience.I would think that since you'll be a student at Berkeley, you can probably schedule a meeting with the MFE office just to chat about suggested preparation, like best undergrad coursework.
