Admission chances?

Hello, so I was wondering if anyone could rate my profile for the fall 2027 early track master's in robotics at KAIST, Korea University, SNU, and POSTECH. I'm an international applicant, and I'm studying at the best university in my country (QS# 340). I have a lower GPA, around 3.27. However, my GPA shows a consistent upward trajectory, and I've been on the Dean's list for 2 semesters (I'll probably graduate with a 3.4 GPA because I still have 2 semesters left, but obviously I'll have to apply to universities by this dec). I have about 2 first-author publications, where one is a conference paper, and the other is a journal paper, 2 manuscripts in preparation, and 2 more research projects that are currently ongoing. I have 5 major projects, including my FYP, which is on autonomous robotics and USAR. I have almost 1 year of experience as an undergraduate researcher at my lab, and I have completed 3 internships. 2 internships are at nationally recognized research institutes in robotics, and 1 is an international research internship at DGIST in South Korea. I'm a rising senior right now. I'm not sure how relevant this is, but I've been the director of multiple clubs at my school and have volunteered at multiple events and rescue shelters.

I'll probably give IELTS in a month. Can you please tell if I have any chances of getting admission at the above-mentioned universities?
