Profile evaluation. Undergrad in Maths & actuarial science GPA 3.3. CFA level 1. 3 years WE FO at Investment bank

I am looking to undertake a Masters in the USA (I have received a scholarship for US university) I was previously considering a Masters in UK but had to change after this offer.

Profile: UK top 15 uni GPA 3.3 (was a bit lazy in studies and taking part in too many extracurricular) CFA level 1 A level AAA*

WE 2.5yrs now in Front office at top startup investment bank in african country. Not well recognized internationally Handled projects and had 2 promotions

Extra curricular: President of student finance society, took part in inter

GRE first attempt 314 (Verbal 155 Quant 159) (this was 2years ago) I will retake and hoping to make it to 320 or more

I'm looking to move to management consultancy or international orgs like World bank/ imf. Any advice on the masters i can target in the US?

My goal is to do an MBA at H/S/W after few years. (or MIT/ Booth)

What are my chances at:

  • MIT MFin
  • Chicago Uni Msc Analytics or Master of Science in Computational Analysis & Public Policy
  • Columbia MS financial econ or MFE
  • Yale Master Asset Mang
  • Berkeley MFE
  • Princeton MFin
  • NYU Masters finance

Do I have any chance at the above? I do not necessarily mind the course as long as it has economics/mang/analytics, but brand name is more important as I'm looking for an international career.
