Hi everyone,
I just finished my 3rd year of undergraduate studies at a top Canadian business school (Ivey/Schulich/Queen's), and am planning to apply to a top MS Finance program in the UK and US. My goal is to get a role as an Investment Banking Analyst at a Bulge Bracket bank in Asia (originally from Mainland China). I'd appreciate if anyone could evaluate my profile and give their thoughts on my situation.
Profile:
cGPA: 3.7/4.0 (Finance and Econ major)
Experience: investment banking summer analyst in DCM starting in May (wealth management and research analyst internships at small firms previously)
Also spent a summer as a project director for an NGO in South America
GMAT: Started preparing, and aiming for a score above 700
Prospective Programs:
1. LSE MSc Finance and LSE MSc Finance and Accounting
2. Vanderbilt MS Finance
3. Columbia University MSc Financial Economics
4. Warwick MSc Finance
So far, these are the schools I am interested in applying. I am leaning heavily towards LSE due to its Asia presence. How does my profile stand?
Thanks in advance.

I think if you get a 700 or above you should be good at those schools. Columbia will be the more difficult on since their program is pretty small and very selective. That being said, you should still apply. The higher the GMAT the better your odds with that one. For LSE I would also look at some of their other MSc in Finance programs. They have a range of selectivity apparently and they all have the same recruiting.
IMO, with your goals, I'd really only apply to LSE and Columbia. Maybe add Oxford and Cambridge onto that list. You need schools that are well known and respected in China. I think your have a good shot at MIT if you score high enough on your GMAT. That would help back home as well. UVA has a new MS in Global Commerce that is very international. I'm fairly sure UVA has a good reputation in China/Asia.
