Chances for top european MiF?

Hi,

I'm a male European student.

GPA: 3,3 Finance and AccountingFinance courses GPA 3,6
GMAT: 720 (48Q,41V)

I'm currently doing an internship at a local bank. I have no international experience, but I have been involved on extracurricular activities. Some of those are related with finance, as the university investments club.

My goal is to get on a top European BS, my top choice is Bocconi, but I also take into consideration ESCP, ESSEC, EDHEC, Warwick, Imperial College, LBS, etc.

What do you think about my profile? And about my choices?

I think that I have no chance at HEC or LSE, right?

Any advice is welcome ;)

EDIT: On GMAT Prep I got 770 and 750, with Q49 and Q50, so that Q48 of the real exam was my lower quant score. I got a lot of geometry questions, and that hurt my score.
I will retake it on May 27 and I hope that I will improve my score to a 740 or 750, but until I take the exam again the only real thing is that I got a 720.

With this profile, you can get into all of them. If you want to, retake it, but it should not be a huge problem (but it can help to offset the “low” gpa)
