Recommendation... Go start working and stop trying to 'buy' the career you want without any experience.
OP don't take offense, assuming you r being serious and not a shill...Each of the programs you've listed is almost impossible to get into unless you have a truly exceptional OVERALL profile. Top 40 ranked University even with a perfect GPA you're at disadvantage vs the avg accepted applicant.
I mean Harvard 2+2, and Princeton MSF are probably the 2 hardest programs in the world to get into. High scores and a decentish school won't even put you in the running. Oxford, Stanford I mean dude it looks like you went own a list a choose the 5 most random an difficult to get into programs on Earth, and also Masters in Finance from Princeton vs MBA vs Financial Engineering, so drastically different no single candidate is good for all three. Frankly Id say chance of admission is almost nil. Sorry to be blunt, but most dudes on WSO will lay into you pretty hard for posting this, as it almost seems like a joke. What job could you possibly be planning for?

Actually, it's not that hard to get into Oxford, LSE, Mit, Cambridge ( I assume you're talking about MPhil Finance, they don't have financial economics program), as it is to get into into Princeton, hbs, and Columbia(that program has mostly Asians with stem degrees, selectivity is amazing). Drop the later three and apply to the former 4 schools and save your application money. You have a decent chance. Also apply to Vanderbilt to be on the safe side
You have a very decent shot at getting into LSE/Oxford/Cambridge and all of these three schools will position you very well for a job in IBD. Can't comment much on the US schools but HBS and Stanford MBA seem pretty unlikely.
Thank you! I am not very sure about Oxford because Said School of Business recommends students to get 5 on GRE academic writing, but I only got 4. Would that jeopardize my application ?
No I wouldn't worry about that. Im pretty sure they won't care much about your essay.
