Curriculum related Internship- 3 years. 1999-2001 including 1 year with American Express Bank.
Extra Curriculurs- - Active in sports like basketball, football & cricket. Learning golf as well as Kick boxing. Am not playing at any club or professional level though.

chaser9,
Your GMAT, chartered accountant background, and diverse work experience are all assets for you. But I didn't much sense of your leadership on the professional side and it's not clear whether your post-college extracurriculars include "social impact"-related leadership. So based on what I see, I think Wharton, Chicago, and Columbia are longshots, and Stern and Ross are doable, provided there's much more leadership to your profile than your post suggested.
Hope this helps,
