Profile Evaluation - MSc of Finance LSE/LBS/Imperial

Hey everyone

Education: Attended the University of Kansas in the U.S Triple majored in Finance, Accounting and Economics GPA: 3.5/4 GMAT: 690 (47Q, 38V)

Work Experience: I spent 1 year working at Deloitte Consulting as a Business Analyst. Worked mostly strategy and M&A strategy cases Several internship experiences ranging from marketing to FP&A at an investment bank

I am interested in breaking into IB and have already applied to several MSF programs in the U.S with good results. I was wondering what programs I would be competitive for in the UK. I know LBS MFA program has an avergare GMAT of 716. Is my 690 a total deal breaker? What program should I apply to for LSE? (I'm thinking maybe A&F given my lowish GMAT) What is recruiting like for the MSc Finance at Imperial?

Thanks a ton guys
