Hi there!
Thanks for sharing your profile. Your extracurriculars are definitely not "average joe" material -- great accomplishments and leadership!!
The admissions rates for those deferred MBA programs are extremely competitive though...they are looking for the best of the best with stellar GPAs from top universities (usually IIT in India) and above average (730+) GMATs. So if there's any way to up your GMAT score, that could help a lot.
I think you'd definitely have a shot at MFin programs if that's the route you want to take...applicants tend to have experience / stats more in line with yours.
Good luck!
Kate
