SDA Bocconi

Hi WSO Team,
I hope each of you is doing well. I'am from India and currently looking to apply for the Master's in corporate finance in SDA Bocconi. Can somebody please help me evaluate my profile before I apply? I'am asking this because the programme does not ask for any written essays:
Age- 24
Education- Bacherlor's in Commerce (Accounting and Finance) - 3 Years Course, Percentage-72% aggregate for 3 years. While in college, I was the college Prefect (A.K.A- Class Captain) for 3 years- Work includes, conducting various seminars, workshops, projects, competitions, college fests and taking charge of my entire class to see that everybody participates in activities. Started the Literary Club in college to promote reading among students and improve their chances of getting a job while graduation. ( The reason for my not-so-good CGPA).
Employed at Graduation, worked in Wells Fargo India- 2.5 Years.
• Promoted once vertically and twice horizontally ( started working in multiple processes).
• Top Performer of Team for 6 Months consecutively and hence was promoted earlier than usual.
• Individually recognized and completed a Dollar Saving Project for U.S Counterparts as a junior level employee.
• Worked on a much more complicated process as a Pilot Team member 5 Months after Training for the core process.
• Identified and worked on various problem areas which resulted in one-to-one connect with U.S and U.K counterparts and improved internal and external quality of team
• 3 of my articles on corporate finance were published in the Company’s Quarterly Employee Magazine.
Helping in Family Business since 2012: Joined as a junior record keeper and worked my way to the top as an Accounts and Finance Manager.
GMAT- 660 (V 44 Q 38): I thought about writing the GMAT again but currently am not looking to giving the GMAT again. Also, I had emailed the SDA Bocconi team ( first choice of school) regarding the retake of GMAT exam, and the admission’s counselor told me it is not required for me to retake the exam keeping in mind, the MCF process. The following were her exact words taken from my email
“Please know that 660 of gmat score is in line with our admission requirements and, considering MCF selection process, it is not necessary to re submit the test unless you did the exam more than 5 years ago.”
Currently figuring out how to write the best CV based on the above information, please suggest if there are any standard templates that I should follow, while applying to B Schools in Europe.

Letters of Recommendation- I' am not sure if my managers could actually provide one using their official e-mail access as we had restricted e-mail access (Worked in a Bank, cannot receive or send e-mails from non-bank ids). and SDA Bocconi requires LORs from their official e-mail IDs only
