LSE MSc Finance chances?

Hey guys,

Kind of struck out with recruiting so decided to pursue a master's. I have decent work experience and sat the GMAT to reduce the negative effect of my degree grades in my first 2 years (LSE state that most people have a 1st) - got a good score but not standout. What you do you guys think my chances might be - will my university grades affect me a lot?

Profile:

Degree: Economics + Language, 2:2 in 1st year, high 2:1 in 2nd year 

University: Target (Non-Oxbridge/LSE)

Previous Experience: Work experience at small firms + 1 IBD SA at BNP/Nomura/RBC (No FT offer)

GMAT: 710

Thanks in advance
