Second masters degree, low undergrad GPA

Hey guys,

Thinking of applying for a second masters degree in finance at either LSE or Oxford eventhough I have a law background. I finished a three year bachelor program in Dutch Law with a 3.0 GPA, then got a masters degree in Public International Law with a 4.0 GPA and was in the top 2% of my class (out of 122 students). My gmat score is 730 (53Q). I did some extracurricular activities and internships but nothing quantitative or finance related. Do I stand a chance in the application proces eventhough I have a law background and a low undergraduate GPA?

Thanks!
