You profile is really very good. All factors are in satisfactory level and you can reapply to ranked universities at next year.
But my suggestion is here that if you are able to improve your gmat score (720+), your profile will be more strong and your chance in admission in ranked universities will be increased more. Best of luck for your endeavor.

If the comment helps you what you are looking for, please do not leave without giving +1 kudos.

I think my internship experience is weak?
Can this be disadvantage to me?

As your internship experience is just one day, actually it will not add any value to your application, rather discarding it from your application will be wise decision.

HI ryo1999,

Thanks for sharing your profile with us!

Congratulations on the acceptances that you've received -- even though you wish to reapply to other schools, it's great that you've achieved some solid results already.

The single most important thing that would strengthen your application (more so than improving your GMAT score -- of course, any substantial improvement of 20-30 points or more wouldn't hurt, but it's not the key here) is more work experience. AdComs from higher-ranked master's programs will be looking for more substantial experience than 1-day internships and part-time restaurant work. I don't know how flexible (or inflexible) your personal timeline is, but if you're interested in attending a higher-ranked MiM program, the best thing you could do right now is find a full-time job or longer internship (multiple months if possible), ideally in the same industry that you'd like to work in after you finish graduate school. That work experience will not only reinforce your business credentials, but it will also provide you with real-life examples of your leadership potential, management skills, and hard and soft skills that you can highlight in your essays and recommendation letters.

Best of luck -- I hope that helps! If you'd like to chat further, feel free to reach out to us on www.admissionado.com.

Best,

Doris
