LSE MFin for London IB

I am a final year at a UK target and have been accepted into LSE MFin programme. How will it improve my chances of recruiting for investment banking? I have successfully cleared CFA level 1 and completed. one internship in my home country (India). I haven't even been able to get interviews in London, even when a lot of people on my course and throughout my current uni are securing roles at GS, MS and JPM. I want to maximise my chances for the next round of recruiting. How helpful is the programme and will the LSE brand be enough to increase my chances and allow me to get a role in FO IB with the improving market. Would it be easier to go for trading roles instead if M&A don't think I'm a good fit?
