Here's my profile:

- GMAT yet to be taken, expecting 720

- Work exp.: internship in asset management, research assistant at dept. of economics

With a strong motivation letter, what are my chances for the programmes mentioned above? Thank you for your replies

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 :)
