Please let me know what may be my chances & where can I improve to stand better for Finance Programs.
My main goal is to get into M&A IB, that is the reason for being a bit selective towards BB M&A focused programs. I understand that work ex might not be very well aligned to that but I'm adding CFA,and some corporate finance internships soon.
I'll be grateful for any other solutions & advise on my profile & if I should also apply any other schools in EU/UK & even US to boost my chances of making into BB M&A.
Thanks for your support!

pretty decent GPA and you have majored in Finance which again showcases that you have a strong passion for
