Which Master of Finance program would be the best option and why?

Hello everyone,

This year I'm planning to apply for a Master in Finance degree in MIT Sloan, LBS or Imperial Business School. The programs specifically are as follows MIT Sloan - Master of Finance LBS - Master of Financial Analysis Imperial - Master of Finance and Accounting

My Background: I have a bachelor degree in Computer Science with a 3.85 out of 4.0 CGPA, 1 year of work experience in Finance field, and planning on taking GMAT this November aiming for 720+.

Want to start from Investment Banking sector as an M&A analyst.

Which one would be the best option in your opinion? Could you also compare LBS's MFA and Imperial's F&A separately?

Hope the information is sufficient to answer. Thank yo in advance!
