Question

Hello! This is my first post, so I hope I obey all GMAT club rules

I want to apply for a Master in Finance. My top choices would be LSE and LBS. After that HEC, IE and ESADE. How are my chances for these universities, especially for LSE and LBS? Would it make scene to apply to Oxbridge or is my acceptance too unlikely to make the effort? Are there any other programs that I should consider applying to? EDUCATION: Bachelor in International Business Administration at Vienna University of Economics and Business Grade Average: 1.5/5 (1 best - 5 worst) - 5th best student out of 1168 GMAT: 700 (Q47 V40 IR7) INTERNSHIPS: M&A - large austrian corporation - 2 months Financial Advisory - Big4 company - 3 months Consulting - Big4 company - 6 months ( I will send my application during the second month of this internship) Thank you very much in advance!

Looks like you are top of your class at a good European institutions. GMAT could be higher, but 700 is still pretty good and you have a nice split. Internships are all relevant as well.

LSE should be good. IE as well. I would consider HEC to be the most difficult to get into. LBS - are you looking at the MFA or the MFIN? The MFIN is really more for students with significant work experience. MFA shouldn't be hard to get in with your stats.
