Profile Competitiveness for MFin Programs?

Hello Users, I am looking for some insight regards to my chances for MFIN Programs. I will be trying to land a FT job upon graduation but will also try to keep graduate school in mind.

Work: - Wealth Management Intern - FP&A Summer Intern at one of the largest Canadian companies - Intern Investment Analyst at Asset Management Company (Subsidiary of the Big 6 Banks ~$50B AUM)

Other: - Passed CSC - Can code Python/VBA - Plan to write CFA in December (will be registered by time of application) - Currently studying GMAT (aiming 700+)

Schools I am Targeting: - *Oxford MFE - *MIT MFin - LSE Mfin & econ - LSE Mfin - HEC MIF - Bocconi MFin - McGill MIMF * Dream schools

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

It is extremely difficult to asses a profile without a given GMAT/GRE score. I understand you are aiming for 700+, but that is not sufficient. Are there any mock tests to go off of?

Assuming you do score a 700. Your profile is average for top programs, by that I mean that its not competitive, nor is it weak.

MIT's class profile is 700-770 80% percentile with 3.75 GPA. Your GMAT will be on the low-end, while GPA is also on the lower-end.

For UK B-Schools 2:1 Honors - US equivalent is usually around 3.5 minimum. But a high GMAT will do the trick.

Once again, your GPA is average - not good, but not bad. But your GMAT can overcome any hurdles.

Additionally to add to the list, please also consider LBS - MFA.
