Masters gpa in construction management(from usa)-3.56/4

Wall Street prep course done 

Cfi course done

Udemy ib course done

5 years of work experience in construction management as a cost estimator(bidding jobs) and cost planner(forecasting, budgeting and scheduling) in USA

1 year of work experience as a civil engineer in India

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?

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.
