Hey dude,
Good to hear from you!
So yeah. you have a very good profile! You are Greek (i.e. a rare candidate), you have very good grades, good research experience, good academics, and very strong internship experience. Put that all together and it makes you quite a good candidate for pre-experience MFins.
Tell them a good story and I feel like you should be able to make it into at least one of your choices.
Best,
Jon Frank
