Chances at LBS/LSE/IC? Or the others?

Hey guys,

I am international student and currently graduating from one of the top 4 BBAs in France, i need your advice on applications in London master programs with my backgrounds below:


- GPA 14.2 (translation in UK system should be 2:1)
- Internships: started with one boutique PE aboard, M&A advisory at a small/mid cap player in DACH (US firm), quite long time of coverage and their M&A team at one of the European major bank and finally a REPE (AUM >USD 50bn) with role of acquisition and AM
- GMAT 720
- Did exchanged in Germany
- Finance and business club leader role
- Experience of entrepreneurship (co-founder role)
- One non-finance internship at a fortune 500 and research intern at a stock exchange

I am wondering what my chances are at the major finance programs in London, if you have other suggestions in Europe? And i am not really considering local unis such as Bocconi, FS (you have to consider local languages for recruiting). I am also considering ESSEC & ESCP but more likely to be a backup plan if London was not successful.

Let me know what you think about my chances in Ldn / other suggestions!

Cheers,
