Need advice!

Hello, I'm from India. I'm currently pursuing a distance degree in Accounting and Finance from University of London (second year cumulative grade 70%, expected first class hons.). I have completed CFA L1 and four certificate courses - M&A, Financial Modeling, IB Fellowship, Forage IB Simulation. I couldn't do any internships due to family reasons. I have been preparing for GMAT focus this summer, my mock test score is around 695 which I believe I can increase to 715-ish with a bit more effort before the exam in September. I'm planning to apply for master's abroad and get internships there and break into IB/PE. Planning to apply to courses like HSG MBF, Vanderbilt MiF, Bocconi Mfin, SAIF-SJTU Mfin, LSE Mfin etc. Do I stand any chance? And is this the right thing to do? 
Thank you for your time!
