Here's my profile:

Hey, would say you defintely have the four best pick of schools. LBS MFA would probably be the best choice. Less workload and a fantastic career service team compared to like LSE. LSE Msc Finance is also a great choice (although more academic and less practical courses). HEC MiM or MiF is good but less known internationally than the other two. SSE is a fantastic school with probably one the best ROI in Europe for finance. Good luck, you can't get wrong with any of these :)
