Chances for UK/Europe masters?

Hi EU/UK chimps, wanted to get your thoughts on how competitive I am for masters programs. Thanks y’all!

Targeting LBS, LSE, Imperial, Oxford and HEC. I also have the right to work/study in the UK without needing visa sponsorship.

School: US Top 40 southern school GPA: 3.9 Internships: -private capital at 2B endowment fund -sector specialist investment bank (tech/internet infrastructure) -Asian asset management firm -search fund -European unicorn startup GRE: not a good test taker but targeting at least a 320

Extracurriculars: cofounder of a nonprofit consulting group and women’s health/wellness group, both with nationwide presence

you should get offers in all of the schools you listed as long as you meet their GMAT/GRE requirements. 

your experience is fine. make sure you communicate your responsibilities well on your CV and don't underestimate essays - take your time and write your story in a meaningful way.

Apply in first or second window (aka ASAP, first rounds are open) and this will also increase your odds of getting a scholarship.
