There's really no point of trying to pin point one single thing from a short profile such as this especially wihtout knowing what your essays were about. On paper, you look good, but it's really about demonstrating how you fit into a school's environment and culture as well as all the professional/academic stuff. Virtually any of the top 10 schools can raise the avg GMAT and GPA score of their admits pretty easily, so being within or even above that average isn't any sort of guarantee for admissions or interview.
The only suggestion I have is that if you think that your age is a factor, make it an absolute positive in your essays/interviews rather than an excuse, and not just from the standpoint of having more experience, but how that can help your other classmates and fit in with them. Otherwise, there's a myriad of concerns, including that you will be ostracized a bit for being older than the rest of your classmates.
Also, you didn't say which international, but if you're Indian, you're coming out of an over represented pool so you already have that stacked against you.
And as cliched as this is, you do have to embrace the randomness that is admissions. My "shoe in", due to fit and connections, just flat out rejected me. Whereas I got into Ross w/ $$, despite not having any connections and a pretty questionable career path compared to the companies (or lack thereof) that recruit on campus.
u r always a help..will wear my formal suit!!
