Hi Kunalnegi123,
Thank you for your post. Nearly all of the programs you've listed are unfortunately going to be out of reach (or significant reaches) with your current profile. When applying from such a crowded and competitive demographic, you should be targeting a GMAT score that is 30+ points above the average for the schools to which you're applying. (That alone doesn't get you in, of course -- it simply "neutralizes" the GMAT and then enables you to compete for a spot based on the rest of your application... essays, resume, recommendations, career goals, school fit, leadership, etc.)
Kelley and Rotman are in range from a score perspective, but they'd each require superb application execution, a superb story, and super specific career goals and school fit articulation in your applications (among other things). Kelley is a very small program (you're looking at probably 40 spots for international males from all countries worldwide in a given class) and Rotman is likely to grow more competitive as some international applicants steer away from the U.S. market. I've included a few links below to help provide further data and context for what I've written here.
Long story short, I think you need to recalibrate your expectations and target schools, boost your GMAT score, and focus on building your story and profile. As of now, you could maybe reach for the back end of the U.S. T25, but your targets should scale down from there. (Extracurriculars from when you were a teenager don't provide much value... even college extracurriculars can feel dated... what do you do outside of work to demonstrate your values, who you are as a person, and potentially position yourself as an engaged community citizen and differentiated leader?)
