If you get that 720+, you would have a competitive profile for these programs. Currently they are all stretch programs for you.
Best,

Thank you very much for the feedback. I just forgot to mention i've scored a 106 on the toefl a couple of month ago. Would you recommend me to take it again in August to improve it or isn't this result that important?
Thanks in advance:)
