Hello guys,
I'm looking forward to a master's in finance from the following business schools: Oxford, LBS, MIT, Columbia, Imperial, ESCP, and LSE. I wanted to know how these schools would be classified into dream, competitive, and safe schools according to my profile as follows:
Age: 22
Nationality: Indian
Education: BTech. in Biotechnology from IIT Delhi (GPA 8.0/10) (One of the top 3 colleges in india)
GMAT Focus: 715 Q90, V81, DI85
Relevant Courses: Introduction to Programming(in Python), Linear Algebra, Calculus, Differential Equations, Probability and Stochastic processes, Managerial Accounting and Financial Management, also some additional courses on algorithmic trading from Coursera
Work Experience: Only internships as a research assistant at IESE Business School, private equity analyst, and a business consultant at EY
LoR: Two from my Btech college, which exemplifies my quantitative skills, and one from EY.
Extracurricular Activities: Currently the general secretary at the Rotaract Club in my district as part of which I organized a marathon with 100+ participants and arranged talks by experts on taboo issues.
I'd love to know your genuine input. You may also suggest any other business school worth trying for.
Thanks!

Just to add on, I'm about to publish a paper in my field of engineering. However, it may not get published by the first round's application deadline. Also, although my GPA is on the lower side, I'm in the top 10-15% of students in my class.

@Aaryaansh -
The IIT pedigree, GMAT score and big-4/ IESE exposure are good angles. Some schools (such as LBS) tend to prefer more experienced candidates, with deeper exposure to finance, and some schools tend to value the academic/ research exposure better.
Having said that, since you have both angles, and quality trumps mere quantity, I'd like to understand your key projects, learnings, skill-sets etc. deeper to assess better. Your post-Masters career goals, and how the MiF fits in (to address skillset gaps) are also crucial angles to consider.
Details of the top global MiF programs are here. Prioritizing/ categorizing B-schools would require deeper discussions, considering factors such as these.
