Competetive applicant for LSE, Oxbridge, or LBS Masters in Finance?

Go to a US target university rn and am exploring UK masters programs with all the uncertainty around visa sponsorship for internationals in US IB

Current grade: Sophomore

GPA: 3.7/4.0

Major: Finance & Economics double major

Current Coursework: intermediate micro (micro II), intermediate macro (II), calculus I & II, foundations of accountancy, foundations of finance

Finance experience: 2 stock pitches for investment club, 2-3 travel team projects for SIBC (Modeling, slide deck building, presentation to partner firm analysts), 2 projects for our impact finance projects club (financial modeling & research tasks), and 3 finance related internships involving financial modeling, analysis, and research.

What GMAT would I need down the line to get/stay competetive and does the rest of the profile look on track to be competetive for these programs?
