Chances for MSc Fin at Bocconi Imperial, Vandy

Hey guys !

I’m trying to get into the MSc Fin program next Fall, target schools include Bocconi, Imperial and Vandy.

Profile: — Non-EU candidate

— Undergrad at upper 40 ranked school from Boston, economics and finance combined major, 3.5 GPA

— 690 GMAT (48Q, 36V)

— 6 month public finance IB analyst internship at Piper Jaffray in LA (will get rec letter from my MD there. Targeting M&A after grad, will mention in essay, so maybe this rec will help ? )

— Another 6 month internship at small New England bank as financial analyst, doubt it’d matter much since its not a renowned bank

Top target is Bocconi. Biggest concern is GMAT score. Should I retake it and try for a higher score or given my overall profile is it enough to get me a spot in the program ?

All and all help is very much appreciated. Thanks !
