LSE MSc finance - evaluate my profile:

I know this is an exhaustingly recurring topic, but please take a look and tell me what you all think:

I am planning to apply for MSc in finance at LSE, but I'm overly skeptical about my profile & chances of admission

GPA (the biggest issue): 3.4

work experience (well...second biggest issue): 1 internship, corporate banking. other internships have been cancelled

GMAT: 740 (Q50V42)

IELTS (if needed): 8

My GPA & work experience are big problems, and honestly I would never think about applying if I didn't do well on the GMAT. My goal is to get into investment Banking through a MM bank, as a BB position is almost completely impossible. Do you think I stand a chance? if not, what are some other options? 

Thank you.
