How Suitable is my Profile for these MFin Programs

I was hoping to get opinions on my chances at a masters in finance from the following:

MIT LBS (Masters in Financial Analysis) LSE Imperial HEC Paris

My profile: - Economics major - 3rd year student - 3.2 GPA from the Lahore University of Management Sciences [top ranked in Pakistan], Pakistan. - 740 GMAT - Little relevant finance experience, hoping to improve on this in the summer. - Strong leadership roles [Captain Varsity Team, Event Heads etc]

What chances do you think I have when I apply next year? Any suggestions on other schools I should be targeting?

Thank you.

it'd be nice if your school name is top few in the region. also finance-relevant experience can be a gap. they'd be asking why you want MSF without seeking any relevant work/classes

 

I have updated my profile, could you provide feedback on it now? I have studied related courses as well so im not completely in the dark about why i want to do a masters in finance.

 

oh sorry, i'm an economics major and i have taken finance related courses, and i plan to do so over the rest of my time here. also, my university is the top ranked in my country. sorry i forgot to add this in before.

 

MIT and LSE are probably a long shot. Maybe one of the "easier" LSE MSc programs could be viable. LBS MFA, maybe, especially with that GMAT. I'd probably look at some other programs also. I don't think you have a good safety on your list.
