Master in finance admission chance HELP ME PLEASE

Background and nationality
I am a 23 YO Korean student.

Undergrad Information
I finished my B.A in Psychology in Korea, GPA A-(3.7/4.3) or 93/100.
I am doing MiM(Grande Ecole Programme) at EDHEC/EM Lyon and I have GPA of 14.5(Equivalent to First Class in UK or A in US),also, I am doing my second year in Germany as an exchange student. (Top 5 School)
GMAT/GRE
I just passed it this Thursday and I got 740(Q50 V40) IR 6

I did one 6 months internship in Korea(Small Accounting Firm in Seoul) and another 6 months in Boutique Asset Management firm(AUM $150M) as an assistant portfolio manager(I managed $10M for 6 months under supervision and I made 17% of the annualized profit)

Community and others
I speak Korean, English, and French. (C2 Level) + German(B1 and still learning)

I'm also studying Python and Linear Algebra on top of my degree program.

Post Master goals
Want to work in AM/HF, but I also consider Corporate Finance such as M&A or PE mostly where I will study(UK or US) but I could work in France, Luxembourg, Swiss, and Asia.

I am thinking about 6 schools.

Oxford MFE
LSE M in Finance and M in Finance and Economics
Columbia MFE and MSAFA
Yale Master in Asset Management
MIT Master in Finance
Berkely Haas MFE

Also, I consider deferred MBA programs(Haas, Columbia, etc)

Do I have a chance? Also, is this worth the time and money?

Thank you so much in advance.
