Nova vs Esade vs IE

I know they're not the greatest b-schools out there but it's what I could get with limited preparation. I've been accepted for 3 universities for the MSc in finance. My nonstellar GPA was hardly compenstated for by GMAT (730). I have only 1 internship in big4, and I passed CFA level 1

I acknowledge that these schools don't stand a chance against other schools in London, but I still have to ask. Is it possible to break into London investment banking from any of those schools? If yes, which one should I pick? 

Thanks everyone.

All schools have people working in IB. I would say the order is Esade > IE > Nova

 

IE/Esade>Nova. The 3 schools have people in London although there are better options. IE is in my opinion very overpriced. Did you apply to other schools?
