I'm currently pursuing BBA - Finance at Bangalore university in India. it's a state University, and I'm a CFA level 1 aspirant (Dec 2020). ( I'll be 20 in a couple of months)
I've scored the following so far,
1st Sem - 6.7/10
2nd Sem - 7.2/10
3rd Sem - 7.0/10
as for 4th, 5th and 6th, I'm bent on scoring 9+.
I'll be writing the GMAT in about 4 months, trying for 750+/800.
As for internships, I've been looking for many opportunities but they all say that I'm still in the 2nd year.
I doubt I'd get an internship at premium org/bank like Goldman or JPM because they only get interns from the "top" universities, and Bangalore university isn't one.
but, I've got 2 months of time at a work experience program where I wrote papers on companies and managed a portfolio at the Bombay stock exchange.
i could do more of this program and add in a few more months, is that a good idea?
I'll most likely get an internship( investment banking and such) after I write my CFA level 1, but that would be post December 2020,.... and LSE,KCL, said open applications in around September 2020. I'd be a little too late to apply in the first round, where the chances are still good.
besides that, I'm currently doing a course on udemy - Financial analysis and investments by Chris Haroun. I find it really fun and interesting. once I'm through with that, I'll be doing a financial modeling course as well.
what do you think about my chances at LSE/Imperial college London/LBS/Said ? ( applying for 2021)
anything I could do to improve my chances?
thank you

If you are able to achieve your target GMAT, then you should certainly have a chance at LSE and LBS. Imperial might be tougher, as they have minimum GPA requirements that are usually hard to meet through the Indian system (you could get there - this is just FYI).
On the program you are a part of, yes, absolutely, try and add more experience there. Programs such as the Oxford MFE explicitly state that while they do not require experience, it is an asset. Other programs will appreciate professional exposure too.

Hi Yusuf360,
You seem quite determined about your goal which is a good thing. However, I can only advise you on your current achievements. The CGPA which you have mentioned here against the comparison for the schools which you wish to apply in is a bit low. GMAT is a very competitive exam. If you have the right resources and guidance you would be able to score 750+ within 4 months. Apart from a good GMAT score schools like LSE and LBS requires you to have:
Good work experience
Splendid Extra-curricular activities
It would be great for your application if you can highlight some quantifiable achievements in your resume. Since you have a year in hand you have more time to build your profile for your dream school. I would suggest you take up our profile evaluation to get a good idea of where you stand and where you need to work on. Here’s the link to our profile evaluation https://www.mim-essay.com/profile-evaluation?gcf
Hope this helped!
