What are my chances to get into an LSE/Oxford/Cambridge/lbs for masters in finance?

If none of the above, then any other university recommendations in uk/usa?

Any extra stuff that might increase my chances of getting admitted to top colleges?

This is probably the best forum for advice. The amount of overachievers (in a good way) here is unmatched and there are definitely lots of Oxbridge students/grads here. 
 

Admissions will give him a super basic answer. Students / alumni is best source but WSO is still reliable. 

 

Honestly, it’s going to be tough. You already have a Masters degree. It’s going to be a hard sell to demonstrate that you really want to do a Masters in Finance. The universities are going to get the impression that you don’t know what you want to do in your life and that’s probably the most important factor in admitting someone to a course.
