Hi Rola,
Your startup experience sounds quite interesting; specifically the fact that it won you spots in business plan competitions.
On the whole your experience seems to be on the lower side. It does not keep you out of the race, but your application should explain why you need the MBA now. Now I don't know what your startup is about, but you can point towards a steep learning curve while running the business and a need to learn and grow quickly (that's where the MBA comes in).
Your extra curricular activities- I am not able to comprehend your role in this committee. Were you a member or in a leadership position? What was your contribution here?
I also don't have clarity over your career goals and how they connect with what you have done so far/ with the skillset you have acquired. Do throw some light on these.
