Also look at Princeton Masters in Finance (1st ranked Masters). Gouizeta too. These are STEM and will get you a good 3 year window to land a plum job in USA. Europe and UK are sinking into recession and would be tough to progress meaningfully.
If quant isn't a hassle, you could also look at MFE at Anderson, Haas, NYU, Columbia.
You should be able to articulate your vision coherently in the admission essays.

Hey IndianGuyMBAinUS,
Let me begin by mentioning that you have a good GPA of 3.97 and attending one of the top five schools in India is a positive aspect to highlight in your application. However, the focus will be on your internship experience, which will be given a weightage of 30%.
Your experience at a big four organisation is a good thing to mention, but be sure to emphasise the impact and business results you achieved while working with international clients. Additionally, your certifications demonstrate your strong finance skills, which can be highlighted in your application. You must emphasise your leadership and organisational skills through your extracurriculars and mention any specific events or initiatives you led.
In fact, your GMAT and GRE scores of 760 and 337 are excellent and make you eligible for top schools like LSE, Imperial, Oxford, and Duke's MMS and MQM programs. Princeton may be a dream school, but your chances may be low.
You can consider applying to schools in the UK or near New York for more finance opportunities. Since you don't have much time, you must focus on showcasing the strengths of your current profile and highlight numbers and quantifiable results. Consider applying in round three for scholarships, as a strong profile can increase your chances. UK schools and government organisations also offer scholarships, so be sure to apply for those as well.
If you need more help, we'd be happy to setup a call and give more pointers on how to improve your profile and the right schools you should target.
