Hello guys! Can you evaluate my profile for LBS and Esade please?

Hello guys, I'm an Italian student and, as I said in the title, I'd like to know what you think of my profile for the MiM at Lbs and the CEMS at Esade! I'm pretty sure I don't really have chances at LBS, still I'd like to know if in your opinion it's still worth a shot or I shouldn't even bother to apply!

Age: 21, born in 1994 School: Bocconi University GPA: 27/30, I'd say the really upper bound of B+ GMAT: 660, IR 7/12, AWA 5.5/6 --> (I'm planning to retake it as I took it almost without preparation, so I'm pretty sure I can score more, but I don't know if I will make it on time for the 1st of March deadline) (moreover, the main score is really unbalanced toward the Verbal section, do you think it will be a problem? I know it would be better with a high Quant score but this is what I have at the moment..) Work experience: just a summer job in a family business, a Business Consultant firm --> anyway, I'm pretty sure I will have some offer from banks and consulting firms at the moment of the application, and I'll make sure to state this in my application Extracurriculars: Amateur Golf player (but I had to stop in the last 2 years due to surgery, I'm still really keen on it anyway, and I'll restart playing as soon as I recover), Summer School at the LSE, Exchange semester in a Financial Times Top100 Canadian University (where I got pretty high grades), Really active during high school as columnist for the high school journal, with a couple of interesting projects (does anyone know if this counts even if it is at high school level?)

What do you think of my (imho waaay below average) profile?

Thank you so much! And enjoy your Christmas holidays guys!

If you can tell your story well in your essays I think you have a good chance! I was accepted and I did much better on the verbal section of the GRE than the quant section. Just based on my experience, they really value your your unique experiences and how you articulate those in your essays.
