Arrow Please evaluate my chance & schools

I'm applying to b-school, but no sure which ones I have higher chance. Please help evaluate my chanes.

Here is my profile.

Age: 33

GMAT: 640 (V:28, Q:49)
WE: 11 years
- 3 years (Computer) in Thailand e.g. Price Waterhouse Cooper, Pepsi
- 3 years (Computer) in Singapore i.e. IBM
- 3 years (Computer) in the U.S. (ecommerce companies)
- 2 years own businesses in the U.S. (1. IT Consulting, 2. Importing of consumer products)
(Also run an online news website which create a lots of networking with many businessmen, politicians, famous singers/actors/actress, etc)

Education:
1. B.Sc. Computer Science GPA 3.72 - Thailand
2. B of Economics - Open U. Thailand (no class, study and take exam)
3. Graduate Diploma in Marketing - Part-time, Singapore (1-year degree)

Positives:
1. entrepreneur with 2 different businesses
2. lots of social works
3. international WE
4. high GPA
5. organize a fundraising party
6. organize an anti-government protest (good or bad)

Negatives:
1. Low GMAT and uneven split
2. Too old ??


P.S. I plan to take GMAT again, but not sure if I can get higher score.


Here are my questions:

1. For the current situation listed here, which schools or ranks that I have highest chance to apply for? (School Ranking listed below)
US News - http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/gra...rank_brief.php
Business week - http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/05/geographic.htm

2. I plan not to include my education in Econ & Marketing in the application due to the GPA is low because the grading is different from normal GPA grading. Should I or should I not include them in the apps?

3. Is organizing the anti-governemnt protest a good or bad thing?

4. Is too much WE is good or bad things?


Thank you in advance for any kinds of advice & comment.
