Background and nationality: British-Lebanese
Undergrad Information: University of Toronto - Rotman Commerce, management with a finance focus and just graduated with a 3.2
GMAT/GRE: I'm consistently scoring around a 690-710 on mocks, and plan to take it for the first time in a few weeks.
Work experience: 3 months at EY and 3 months and PWC
Community: Some volunteer work, nothing special
Post Master goals: I'd like to work as an M&A analyst but still exploring
Anything else?
I did really bad in my 2nd year and got 2 D's in ECON courses as I was really depressed and under stress with family issues. I performed fairly well in my 1st 3rd and 4th years. I'm also considering taking the CFA L1 if it may strengthen my application. I've taken a fair share of finance/accounting/econ/management courses especially corporate finance courses and have scored fairly well in them.
I am considering MFin or MiM options in the UK or the US, preferably the UK. I was considering LBS, LSE, UCL, MIT, USC, Columbia, Yale SOM Masters in Asset management but am not sure which one require work experience and which ones don't and I also feel like I wouldn't be really competitive at most of these. I'm open to other suggestions as long as they are outside of Canada.
Looking forward to ur reply, thank you so much!

Here are a few ways you can improve your profile:
(1) Dedicate huge effort towards the GMAT. A 690-710 would be great, but if you can get 720+ that would really do wonders for your application. With your GPA and overall profile, you do need a boost in one category. This could be one since it hasn't be locked in yet. Plan to take the exam at least 2 times. This way, you go into the first attempt with little to no stress. How are you preparing? You might want to invest in an online course that will give you the tools and tricks to make the most of your performance.
(2) Get involved in some extracurricular activities this summer! Things are opening back up and there should be more opportunities to participate in planning a community service event or being part of some tutoring effort - whatever tickles your fancy. You really need to add something else besides work to your profile.
(3) Make sure you address your 2nd year performance in your optional essays. If there was truly an set of extenuating circumstances that impacted your grades, that is important to note. If it goes unaddressed, it will definitely be a red flag. If you put forward a meaningful response, you should undo some of the damage. Coupled with a good GMAT score, and you will boost your chances of gaining acceptance!
(4) That list of schools is definitely a reach. USC is probably the only US-one I would keep, though you are obviously more than free to apply to any set of reaches. I would also UCLA, Boston University, University of Washington, and Georgetown to your list to get started.
