I'm going to apply to Msc Finance but I have no idea where to start and where to apply.
Please bear with me, I'm listing everything I've done with the mim-essay evaluation.
Basic profile:
Female, 20, Indian, Muslim
Academics:
Final year BBA student at a top 25 business school in India (Private)
CGPA: 9.43/10 | 4.00
GMAT 730
International Exposure:
Visited foreign countries but for leisure/travel, actually, accompanied my dad on his business meetings but I was having fun.
I know English, Hindi, French, Spanish (medium fluency, not certified, learnt through Duolingo)
Work Experience:
I have done 2 internships, one in Marketing after which I changed my career choice to Finance.
The first internship was in a marketing position at a startup as an early team, which was an endeavor in the startup ecosystem and I learnt about venture capital and equities, which resulted in a deep interest in finance.
The second internship was 2 months long, a finance internship at JP Morgan Chase and Co.
I received an intern of the month cert for the first internship.
Further education
I have worked on many projects in financial modeling, stock trading, portfolio creation, etc, through Coursera Specializations, and I've completed the following Specializations on Coursera.
Financial Management - Uo Illinois
Investment Management - Uo Geneva
Investment and portfolio management - Rice Uni
Managerial Economics and Business Analysis - Uo Illinois
Investment Management with Python and ML - EDHEC

Analysing - Numeric and Digital Literacies - Macquarie
Courses

Unfortunately there are many more and I feel pathetic lol.
Certified with SAS Programmer, SAS Statistical Business Analyst, working in SAS Advanced Programmer. I know Python, learning SQL, Good with Excel, learning Tableau.
Extracurricular Activities:
This is the worst part. I have never taken part in Sports because my religious parents never allowed me to. Like, zero sports. ZERO. NIL. The only physical thing I've done is Karate where I am a Black Belt.
I'm a part of the Cultural Committee of my Uni and the Finance Club which doesn't do a lot of shit.
For the volunteering part, I was a Fundraising Coordinator at an NGO for animal welfare for 2 months, after which I'm currently the Campaign Manager (one year as of now) and I manage the campaigns and create impact for sure. I was also the best Fundraiser the NGO ever had.
I presented a finance topic research paper in an IEEE conference.
I think that's it?
So I was to do an Msc. Finance, what should be my target schools and what are my chances in good universities. Also, I need a scholarship so will I have any chances in that? Mostly because, religious conservative parents.
I really don't know where to start. I'll furnish additional details if that's required. Thank you. Please consider giving me a few minutes.
