Would i get admitted in oxbridge?

resume: bachelor in economics: italian gpa 28,7/30 (burger gpa: 3.827/4.0) gmat:700  extracurriculars: founder and ceo of crypto alert company (6 figures in yearly revenue) founder and head of investment club, retail trader (beat the s&p 2 years in a row) yt channel (10k subs) covering investment philosophies, trading strats and risk management. Intern at a pretty important italian bank, erasmus in Sorbonne. Certificates (dont know if they have any relevance whatsoever): Bmc, applied finance in python from datacamp, c1 english, b2 french, b1 spanish, I also have 2 reference letters  

Thinking about applying to lse, lbs, hsg, hec, bocconi (masters in finance) as main choices and a couple of tier 2s like escp and essec, but i was wondering if i am enough qualified to even try to apply for oxford msc in financial economics, can you guys rate my profile and tell me 1-should i apply for more safe choices and give up on some tier 1s? -2 should i try to apply for oxbridge or i have no chance?

I kind of agree with the above comment. Overall, if you're on the borderline for Oxbridge admission (or, for instance, anything; be it dating,  job applications, a sports competition, whatever), go for it. What's the worst that could happen?

I've got a lot more respect for the guy who asks out the pretty girl and gets rejected, than the guy who doesn't even try (forgive the male-focused comment but you know what I mean).
