Help needed(Profile evaluation)

Hello. I'm a New Zealander & been to US a couple of times. I'm currently looking at the MIT & CMC MFin, Duke's MMS, & Vandebilt MSF. Below is my profile:

GMAT: 790(50q)
GPA: 3.7 Non target accounting
WE: 6 month consulting internship
CFA level 1 pass
Few other academic achievements

I know I have above MIT's average GMAT & a really good GPA but what worries me is that I don't have that much experience, MIT's average exp is 17 months. Will my academic achievements offset the work experience? Another school I'm looking at is CMC & Vanderbilt. They have great placements. I don't know about MIT's placements but the name will be more than enough for me. Then comes Duke's MMS. To be honest, I think it's like wasting money to attend the MMS since you learn nothing new but all you get is the name so you're basically paying for the name. I'm more interested in Vanderbilt, CMC and MIT because of their curriculum, Duke because of the name and the activities & I'll only go there in the WORST case scenario(if rejected by the others). Do you think I have a chance? My post MFin/MSF/MMS goal is to break into IB,

PS: I don't want to apply to European schools because I have no plans to be there, I dislike Europe & UK (No offense meant)
