Is my resume good for these schools?

bachelor student on the second year, will apply the next year for mit mfin, princeton mif, columbia financial econ, oxford financial econ lbs mfa, saint gallen banking and finance, bocconi finance, escp mif. 

Resume so far: italian gpa (29,7/30, should be like 3.95/4.0) bachelor in economics non target. 2 interns, one in a major italian bank, one in euronext in market risk. Founder and head of investment club. Co-founded a digital product business making 500k-ish a year. Algorithmic trader, returned 60% in 2 years (so far) beat every benchmark. Contributor on seeking alpha, mainly posting macro-analysis investment ideas. Certifications: bmc, machine learnign certifications in datacamp, english c1, french b2, spanish b1. Will focus on the gmat hoping to get a 710+ at least and this year i'll go in erasmus in essec business school.

Is this enough for mit since that's my dream school? Also i've seen that they don't require gmat and it's not seen negatively if you don't put it, so if i get let's say a 700 should i put it on my resume or is it too low
