ral,
You have a distinctive, attractive profile, with the internationalism, magazine startup, low-self-esteem work, and autism work comprising four strong assets (your gender doesn't hurt either). On the strength of these you *may* have a chance at all the schools you name, but your GMAT score will make Wharton, Kellogg, and especially Stanford definite longshots for you (note that your score falls out of Stanford's middle 80%). Duke, NYU Stern, and especially UCLA (whose middle 80% is especially wide) will be your best bets. Dazzle them with your essays, which should be full of personality, leadership/impact stories, and focused drive.
Good luck,
