Thanks a lot Linda for your feedback. I agree I don't have very strong leadership initiatives in my profile, but still I can list a few ones.
- In school I was boarding house prefect,
- during my Bachelors course, I was class representative, representing my class in college general elections.
- Me and a group of others, formed Computer club during graduation and organized 1st IT festival in college.
- In my office I have played role of Team Lead (though nothing exciting about it), have mentored junior resources outside my team, and I have been part of interview panel.
- At gmat club guided several gmat aspirants and started various threads related to Indian B-schools

Do you think these could impress adcom? Do you see any chance of mine in either of top 5 or would that be a strech.

Thanks once again for looking into my post.

The adcom will consider your leadership experience and you should mention it, but much of it occurred several years ago. So it's good you have it, but not as good as continuous or recent leadership experience or recent leadership experience with more responsibility.

I do think Top 5 is a stretch, but stretch doesn't mean impossible. It does imply that you should be realistic and also apply to other programs where you have a better chance of acceptance.

Best,
Linda
