Masters in Finance after not converting SA?

Didn't convert my SA role (MM IB), and am scrambling for a job but not getting much traction with Grad Schemes. I'm thinking of applying for MSc Finance programmes and was wondering:

1. If this is a common/reasonable path to take, with a goal of AM/ER grad roles in London (and IB as well, but to a lesser extent)?

2. What sort of schools are 'worth it', beyond LBS/LSE/Ox/Imperial?
