ISBtarget,
Your profile is a strong one, even a very strong one, however, I would say it's not *distinctive* (unusual) enough for Stanford, though by all means apply there as a longshot. I believe you will be competitive at ISB and HEC Paris semi-competitive at Tuck (depending on how well you convince them that you know and appreciate Tuck's distinctiveness well). You should be optimistic about Nanyang. Given your goals, you should also consider the following schools: Kellogg, Michigan, MIT, and Duke.
Good luck,
