Hey ivrs9095,
I must say that you have a fairly Interesting profile.
As you have mentioned a very specific interest in the schools of the USA or Europe, so I am going to give my evaluation of keeping this in mind.
You have done a decent job with the GMAT, and the academics look good as well.
Your academics look decent but please note that you will have a strong and intense competition with fellow applicants with outstanding academics. So, you can try to compensate your CGPA and GMAT with your Work experience and other profile achievements.
Your work experience with Big4 Firm in audit is a valuable asset for your application. As you are planning to apply for a Master in finance and your prior learnings in this background can be highlighted.
However, the schools are interested in impact rather than just participation. So make sure that you exemplify your learnings and your interest in the finance field through your Work experience.
Talking about your extra-curricular, they add an element of diversity to your profile - Music can showcase you as a holistic applicant. However, you would need to go deeper into the details about the extra-curricular activities that you have organized in school and at work.
If we talk about the top colleges like MIT Sloan or LBS in the USA or Europe it attracts applications from recent graduates as well as professionals with a more extensive work-ex and who have renowned brands on their resume, hence applicants even with stellar profiles tend to start at the ground level.
I’d suggest you categorize the colleges into Dream, Competitive and Safe Colleges.
To help you give a better context, here is bifurcation for the same:
Dream: MIT Sloan (USA), HEC Paris, London School of Business, Berkeley
Competitive: Vanderbilt, ESADE, ESSEC
SAFE: Skema, IESE
To get a better idea of your profile you can check out this profile evaluation link below to know about your chances at your target schools: https://mim-essay.com/profile-evaluation?gcf
Hope this helped!
