Hey,
You have quite a bit of excellent experience..and the Gold Medal certainly does not hurt.
Your undergraduate GPA doesnt seem like the strongest however, your grad school proves you are academically ready. Also, it seems like it was so long ago from when you attended, it should not be a hindrance in my opinion anyways.
With your international experience, have you considered schools like INSEAD, etc?
You should not have a problem with most of the schools you listed...Wharton tends to be quantitatively based I believe...but you still seem like you would be a competitive applicant.
Good luck! Keep us updated!!
