Should I consider LBS for getting into IB in London?

I am an undergrad student in India, in my final year (3rd). I recently got an admit to London Business School's MFA program. I ve interacted with many students who are currently enrolled in the program. Most of them say that it's next to impossible for me to break into IB in London with a non European passport and without front office internships ( in india, BB /EB front office is reserved for tier 1 MBA grads) so I only have two Indian boutique IB internships.. one front office, one back office. Would i stand a chance to compete with the likes of those who've got 2-3 M&A internships at BBs/ EBs and have a European passport?
