Canadian Profile Evaluation for UK G5+ LBS MSc

Dear all,

I am currently a year 2 student study at Sauder School of Business, the University of British Columbia. I will be applying to various MSc in Finance programs and the likes (Class starting Fall 2021). I would very much appreciate your thoughts on my odds of admission and, perhaps more importantly, my goals on academic performance and whole plan about my preparation next one year and a half. So here goes:

Demographics: Chinese Undergraduate: Sauder School of Business, the University of British Columbia - supposedly Top Business School in Canada. I will exchange at Yonsei University ( Top 3 in South Korea) and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology on 2020 Spring. GPA: 82% with core courses of 85%, Dean's list GMAT: I am currently preparing my GMAT and my aim is 740+

Extracurriculars are only average: Member of Finance Club, participated in a Business Case Competition.

Internship and work experience: For the first summer during undergard, I did 1-month wealth management internship at one of China's largest bank. Also, I did a remote intern work mainly on Real Estate industry in Roland Berger. This summer, I will intern at Top 5 securities firms/investment banks in China, duty including Debt and Equity Capital raising and other front desk businesses.

Dream School Lists: 1. Oxford MFE. (Probably crazy) 2. LSE MFin 3. LBS MFA 4. IC MFin

Others: 5. HKUST MFin 6. NUS MFin

I am strongly oriented towards a career in Asia especially in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Just want to know how can I plan and manage the rest of my undergrad time in order to admitted by the highly competitive programs. I truly appreciate every kind of feedback, thanks in advance.
