From what I understand of the admission process, you have a good chance due to different profile, good acads, good cca including philanthropy and sports, and a pretty above average gmat (700 is average, in India! ). From the way you bring out yourself and the goal, the interview also should not be difficult.
Now what stands between the seat and you is one good reco and some good essays, and a run against the clock for the next deadline!
How that helps. Good luck
