Need help! Strathclyde MFin or chances for CASS, UCL, HEC Lausanne?

Hello, I recently graduated from a target (if such thing exists) in Greece with a Bachelor at Banking nad Financial Management. Therefore I want to have a master at a renowed Business School in order to have a carrer on IB. But here are the problem i have a GPA of 6.21 in a 1-10 scale. Got accepted at Strathclyde MFin . I have also sent application waiting for answer in USI Lugano, CASS, UCL and HEC Lausanne. The thing is that the deadline in order to accept strathclyde's is in two weeks, and I believe that I will not have an answer from the others untill then, since I did my applications Last week. What do you advise me to do? What Strathclyde's opportunities are?
Thank you

Your grade would probably be a 2:2 or 2:1 (low) in the UK and the ranking of the unis you mentioned for IB London (and probably Europe) would be: UCL>CASS>HEC Lausanne>Strathclyde>USI Lugano.

Strathclyde isn't fantastic (not shitting on it, just shooting straight) but if the course is well-structured, you leverage the alumni network in various firms of interest and engage in extracurriculara you could have a shot. Check on Linkedin where this MFin could place you to get an idea of options out there

As for the others i would say your chanced are as follows: UCL - not great, CASS - ok, HEC Lausanne - ok, USI Lugano - decent. Try to get an idea (again perhaps on Linkedin) on the profiles of currently enrolled or recently graduated students.
