Hi shivamjjw,
Thanks for reaching out. It is difficult to precisely predict your chances, especially since the deferred programs tend to be quite selective. HBS for instance only admits 9% of applicants to the 2+2 program. Those admits tend to come from STEM backgrounds too, so while your business background is strong, it may make your chances even harder at HBS. I think if you work on a few areas and execute stellar applications, Yale and ISB are more reasonable shots. In particular, I think you need to work on showing your leadership experience & potential. I don't see much evidence in what you said about your extracurriculars -- maybe it is there and you just need to frame it differently. Also I would work on the GMAT and try to score at the upper end (730+). Otherwise it sounds like your coursework and job experience are both strong.
Hope that helps, and good luck!
