Hey
CurryBeefWell, you have a quite decent profile.
You have done a great job with GPA and some decent internships there, however, you would need to work better for the GMAT score.
Also, you have a few things working out for you which are good GPA and two finance summer internship in insurance broker firm.
Now you have asked a couple of very specific questions about profile and likelihood of getting into top schools for MSF specifically in the USA.
Here's my take on them:
Profile: While you have a decent profile, know that you will have a strong and intense competition with fellow applicants for the MSF program in Top Colleges of USA with a major chunk of them having stellar profiles( High GPA, High GMAT, decent job experiences and extra-curricular) as well.
However, you need to make sure that while you are competing with people who have good GMAT score, you target for a 650+ score this time.
Because this way every school that you are planning to target would lie in your range.
Overall, I’d say that you have not given a lot of details about your extra-curricular activities. The schools which you are targeting values a holistic profile, so try taking up some volunteering initiatives, join student clubs and make sure that you present some quantifiable impact through these activities. Also, having CFA would be a bonus and it can increase your chance for our dream school
Work Experience: Although, full-time post-baccalaureate work experience is not required yet it is strongly recommended to have internships in finance or a related field and applicants with more extensive experience are also welcomed. So, talking in the context of work experience you can have a good chance in schools Like Vanderbilt.
ExtraCurriculars: Along with a good profile, you need a extracurriculars that can be showcased through your essays and LOR’s. This can be in the form of some very strong achievements, or a very unique skill set - Something that you do better than the others. Maybe you'll need to build it, or maybe you already have it in your profile ( In this case you will need to brainstorm and think about how you can showcase it in the application. Apart from internships and GMAT, I would suggest taking up a community development project as well. Schools highly value social volunteering initiatives.
Conclusion: In the end, I’d say that you should note that there are always many more applications than places available at such Top Schools and possession of the minimum entrance requirements does not guarantee that you will be offered admission. It is therefore in your interest to apply as early as possible.
