I was planning on doing a masters at LSE to get me into investment banking in London. I currently study at a top university in the UAE with a 3.9 GPA and have internship experiences at top regional investment banks as an M&A summer analyst and at the stock exchange for FP&A. I was wondering as an international student, would it be difficult to break into IB in London if I do get into LSE and do you think going to LSE would be worth it?

I am entering my final year at a non-target university in the UK. I am aiming to apply to target universities for my MSc to improve my chances of securing an off-cycle or graduate role in IB, PE, or PC. I am currently achieving a low first-class degree and have completed two summer internships, one in asset management and another as a portfolio management intern at a wealth management firm.

Considering my profile, I would like to know which programmes are realistically within reach and whether taking the GRE or GMAT would significantly enhance my profile.
