Best Universities for masters in Finance in UK for IB

I will be graduating soon from UNIGE in Switzerland, and I'm targeting a 2:1

I would like to break into IB and ideally get an offer as soon as I graduate from my master's.

Which universities for now look like the best options for smooth and frictionless entry into IB (provided my grades in Master's are good)?

My ranking for now is : 
-LSE MSc Finance
-Oxford(Saïd) MFE
-Imperial College Business School MSc Finance

On another note, are these even possible to get into with my aggregate from this school?

Ps. I'm planning on applying for 2026 September.

  1. Oxford MFE
  2. Tied: LBS MFA/ LSE MFIN

not sure if 2:1 can get you into Oxford MFE. Master grades don't matter as much as you will be applying well before you can get any grades. 

none of the masters can get you "smooth and frictionless entry into IB"
