You definitely have a competitive profile. Sure this profile suits LBS, especially that it includes the technical, managerial, international/multicultural, entrepreneurial, as well as extracurricular aspects. From the academic side, just get a good GMAT score (700 would be perfect), then you're totally safe!
you have strong points, just know how to sell yourself
Go for it, Good Luck!
