Landing a Summer in London. Luck?

Hey there. So I wanted to know my chances of landing a Summer Internship in London in an EB/BB. I believe I have a good profile but from what I hear a good component of the recruitment in London is luck, so I am not super duper confident. Here are some of my stats:

- Graduated in Italy Summa Cum Laude. Spotless GPA

- Currently Master in Finance student at Target (HEC, LSE, LBS..)

- 2 internships in M&A. One in a boutique, one in Big 4.

- Founder of the biggest finance (M&A) association at my uni

- Founder of of profitable startup with good revenue

What do you think? My biggest concern is that I have no EB/BBs on my CV and it worries me, considering what you see in past cycles for people who got in.
