MSc Financial Mathematics/Financial Engineering

Hi WSO, I would like to apply for master in Financial Mathematics in UK/US. I am studying Mathematics at the top three universities in Hong Kong. My GPA is around 3.5. I have not taken GRE yet but I am confident that I can get a good score. I plan to go back to Hong Kong for my career so internship opportunities are not a big consideration for me. My first preference is Imperial College London. How big is my chance? Anyone can share a typical profile for students admitted to Mathematics and Finance of Imperial? If my chance is not bad, any other renowned university from UK/US would you recommend for people with GPA 3.5 like me? Thanks a lot.
