Hi delenitiautem

You have a very solid profile — strong academics (1st class, ACCA, ICAEW, CFA L1 90th percentile), relevant internships (EY TAS, HBL IBD), and a 705 GMAT, which is competitive for your target schools.

Top Targets (LBS, LSE, Oxford MFE, Cambridge MPhil):
Realistic chances, especially if you position your experience and goals well. Oxford and LBS are slightly more selective and may prefer more full-time experience, but your credentials and goals align well.

Secondary Targets (Imperial, Warwick, UCL, KCL):
These are strong backups — Imperial especially has a solid IB track record. Warwick, UCL, and KCL are realistic options and should be considered safeties.

Tips:
[*]Get a bit more full-time experience if possible before R2
[*]Craft a clear SOP linking your experience to your IB goals
[*]Reach out to alumni/students and reference those conversations
[*]If you want personalized guidance, feel free to speak with our experts for a free consultation — we’re here to help you craft the best application possible. You can also connect with our experts directly via a call or WhatsApp at +91 9769092456.
Good luck!

You have a fairly good profile. Just make sure your skills and achievements are properly showcased in the application, a common mistake made by many students.

Thanks,
