How to stand out on Masters Application

So basically from scrolling miles and miles of WSO i have come across a lot of target masters but those that have stood out to me to get into banking are:

LSE MSF, OXFORD MFE, LBS MFA ( don't start a debate please)

I am a undergrad student(accounting and finance)  at a non target but have top of top grades, a high gmat , and relevant experiences in finance though not in IB. So my question is how can I further improve my profile to make myself stand out and get into these top programs I have time on my hand so please help a monke out.


 

Research each program and find out specific facets of the school that make them unique. Then drop specific call-outs in these facets in your essays.

For example vandy’s msfin has the pre-3 program which is basically recruiting/networking prep before you start the program. This would be something to reference in an essay to show you’ve done your research

 

Incidunt autem quisquam sunt sit est adipisci. Atque quos non quasi. Modi molestiae ut quis eaque. Cumque rem veniam sed. Enim natus voluptatem maiores quam.

Nesciunt id et consequatur quis. Quo asperiores sed ex. Veniam blanditiis enim nesciunt vel.
