HEC Paris MiF, profile evaluation & recruitment

Hello everyone. I'm thinking about aiming for business schools outside of London, apparently they're even more common in neighbouring cities. The MSc in international finance at HEC Paris is placing really really well for London IB, as per what I've seen on LinkedIn. I tried to contact students there but as expected no one is responding '-'

here's my profile, I'd really appreciate your help:

GPA: 3.4

GMAT: retook it last week, scored 750 (Q50V42)

experience: 1 corporate banking internship

do you think I have a good chance?

also, the website states specifically that the program is 1 year; however, graduates who landed IB jobs have the duration at 2 or 3 years on their LinkedIn profiles. where does that discrepancy come from? 

thank you in advance!
