Vishrut,
Impressive profile, but lack of deep leadership may hold you back at the very pinnacle schools. I recommend really accentuating your Canadian experience (from a cultural/personal standpoint). That may sound like strange advice, but it is one of your differentiators, and given your definitely-not-unusual background (Indian, male, technology) you need to do everything you can. I don't know how extensive the website volunteer work was but also make the most of that as well. Likewise the forex and college entrepreneurship stuff--highlight it, don't just mention it in passing. Hopefully your goals are *extremely* focused and well thought and you can hit them between the eyes with data about your future company's market etc. Hopefully also you have a compelling personal story about overcoming personal obstacles and stretching yourself. If so, it's possible that 2 maybe more of these schools will come through for you. Chicago and Sloan look like your best bets to me. If you get dinged, spend the next year accumulating leadership experiences wherever possible.
Good luck,
