Chances for top european MiF?

Hi,

I'm a male European student.

GPA: 3,3 Finance and Accounting
Finance courses GPA 3,6
GMAT: 720 (48Q,41V)

I'm currently doing an internship at a local bank. I have no international experience, but I have been involved on extracurricular activities. Some of those are related with finance, as the university investments club.

My goal is to get on a top European BS, my top choice is Bocconi, but I also take into consideration ESCP, ESSEC, EDHEC, Warwick, Imperial College, LBS, etc.

What do you think about my profile? And about my choices?

I think that I have no chance at HEC or LSE, right?

Any advice is welcome ;)

EDIT: On GMAT Prep I got 770 and 750, with Q49 and Q50, so that Q48 of the real exam was my lower quant score. I got a lot of geometry questions, and that hurt my score.
I will retake it on May 27 and I hope that I will improve my score to a 740 or 750, but until I take the exam again the only real thing is that I got a 720.

Hey, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your topic! Bummer...could just be unlucky but one of these topics will help shed some light:

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...

With this profile, you can get into all of them. If you want to, retake it, but it should not be a huge problem (but it can help to offset the “low” gpa)
