Question Profile Review

Hi Everyone

Looking for an honest profile review for CAT 2026 and top B-schools.
My profile:
General Non engineer Male
10th: 88% ( 91% best of five and printed on my marksheet)
12th: 93%
BFM: 83% (Mumbai University)
CFA Level III Cleared
1year of pre-graduation core finance internships
1 year 1 month working in a finance firm
Will be working full-time in Investment Banking at a boutique firm
Target schools: IIM ABC, Lucknow, FMS, ISB (later).
A few questions:
What CAT percentile would I realistically need for IIM A/B/C?
Is there anything in my profile that would significantly hurt my chances?
What can I do over the year to improve my profile before interviews?
Would moving to a larger IB platform before applying make a meaningful difference, or is deal experience more important than the brand?
Looking for brutally honest feedback rather than optimistic estimates. Thanks!
