Profile Evaluation for top MiF in Europe

Hello guys,

As you can see by the title, I need your help in estimating my chances for several top MiFs. I probably will be applying for the class of 2020.

Background:

  • 20 years old and Portuguese (might be an Unrepresented Minority)
  • Finishing my BSc in Economics in 2019 from University of Lisbon with a GPA of 16/20 which puts me in the Dean's List (top 5%) with a Cum Laude (however, I'm afraid it's not a target school in europe overall)
  • Exchange in Erasmus University Rotterdam - GPA 8.1/10 - Top 8%
  • 1 Finance Internship in a Boutique Advisory Firm
  • Founder of a non-profit and my school's business club + won a few national debate competitions
  • Didn't do the GMAT yet but I am certainly aiming for around 710-720

I am thinking about taking a gap year after my Bachelors to study for the GMAT, get some more experience (possibly an internship at an IB or Big 4) and tailor my application.

Target Schools

Oxford LSE HEC LBS Bocconi Imperial St.Gallen ESSEC

What do you guys think? Give me your recommendations about the above Unis and some others that could meet my background.

Thank you in advance!
