Should I bother applying to a deferred M7 MBA?

Hi, I'm graduating from STEM program at a highly reputable Canadian University next year. Should I even bother applying to an M7 deferred MBA program with my profile looking like:

cGPA: estimating a 3.7, if you exclude first year it's probably 3.8

Extra Curriculars: President of faculty's investment club, in which I'm planning on starting a charity initiative. Additionally, I'm a mentor to new students, and an orientation leader.

Work Experience: One summer at a Big 5 Canadian Bank in S&T, and currently at a US BB in Capital Markets.

GMAT: Recently scored a 760 on an official practice so I'm hoping on the actual test to be 750+

My primary concern with the application process is that I have no hooks, I've got nothing super special or any hardships to discuss
