Hello, I'm Italian and this is my profile:
Bachelor degree in Economics and Business Administration TIER 1,5 (In Italy just after Bocconi)
Final Grade: 110 cum laude (First Class 95%)
CGPA: 3,80/4,00 (28,50/30,00)
GPA in Heavy Quant Subjects: 4,03/4,00 (Advanced Math, Financial Math, Stat, Corporate Finance)
GMAT: 710 (Q49, V39)
Experience: Because of the Italian "laws" and work environment it's very hard to get an internship, especially in a well known firm; I have 3 internships in 3 different small Real Estate Development firms of 2, 2 and 5 months respectively.
Other: Wharton Certificate in Competitive Advantage, CAIA level 1 CANDIDATE ( I hope to get it during the Aug-Sept 2021 session), Python mid-low level
knowledge, I should get in the Data Science boot camp offered by Le Wagon (probably the best boot camp, at least in Europe).
Personal characteristics: extreme entrepreneurial orientation
Now, my biggest concern ---> TOEFL: 99 (R24, L27, S22, W26) I was extremely surprised about my reading score, since during my practice tests I always got at least 28... and even a bit about my Speaking and Writing since I thought to get at least 23 and 27 respectively
Target programs:
-LBS MiM and MFA
-HEC MiM (maybe even MIF)
-LSE MIF or MIF&PE (you have to choose only 1)
-HSG MQEF
maybe:
-ESCP MiM
-Frankfurt school of Finance and Economics
-WHU Otto
In the top Tier programs I aim for a scholarship especially for LBS and LSE.
What are my chances? I should really retake the TOEFL to meet the general requirement of 100?

Thanks for reaching out! It looks like you have a profile built on strong academics and test scores. These seem very appropriate for the various master degrees you are seeking.
I would not mess around with TOEFL requirements. Why not retake the exam? I know it's not ideal but if you are just shy of the general requirement, I would hope you can bump it up if you do better on the writing, reading and speaking sections. If you were surprised by your performance, it probably just means something did not hit you right in the moment. A second shot at the exam should hopefully do the trick.
Do you have any extracurricular involvement or accomplishments you can tout? I did not see them mentioned. You will also need to put forward a clear career/post-master goal as part of your application. Your personal essays will matter!
I am admittedly not an expert on European masters programs, but we would be happy to connect you with someone on our team who is and can help. Please reach out to us for a free consultation so we can learn even more about your background, assess your high-level chances at these programs and walk you through how our application support services might help.
