I am an 23 years old Norwegian male. I graduated from a good business school in my country last year, and have been working hence. Here is my profile:
700 on the GMAT (q 48, v 38)
3.0 GPA (not great, but still received a letter of acknowledgment from the principal; grading in Norway is conservative)
Excellent references
Good extracurriculars
Confident about my essays (very passionate about writing).
Good in interviews
I am applying for master's programs at Iese, Esade, HEC, Insead, EDHEC, and Bocconi. What are my chances? Is HEC and Insead within reach? How confident should I be of getting at least one admit?

HansJK:
Thank you for reaching out!
It's hard to say with conviction whether you stand a chance at this list of schools. All of your descriptions are highly qualitative and ambiguous. I am glad you feel you have a good/excellent profile, but we are going to have to dig much deeper to better assess your profile.
That being said, I can tell you that HEC Paris and INSEAD will be a stretch with a 3.0 GPA (even with the curve) and only a 700 on the GMAT. It feels like you are meeting the 'good enough' level, though I'm admittedly less familiar with the Norwegian grading system. Are you open to retaking the GMAT? I know it's not what you want to do but if you can bump up your score 30+ points, that would do wonders for your chances.
Also, when are you thinking of applying? You are only 23 years old. You might want to accrue some more work experience. That will also take the pressure off of your GPA. Generally speaking, the further out you are from your bachelor degree, the less GPA tends to matter.
Please share more with us so we can help guide you.
Best,
