GMATBong - Could you please evaluate my profile?

My Profile:
Age: 30

Education:
Undergrad in Maths (53%, within top 30 students in the univ)
Gradaute in Computer Applications (80%, topper in the univ)
GMAT: Test date in Jan, consistently scoring 750-ish in practice tests

Work Ex:
5 years Worked as Software Engineer. 6 months of experience in UK.
Currently working in the second largest software company in the world in the capacity of a Team lead.
Got many awards, including most valuable employee multiple times.

Extra curricular:
Student org leader in College.
Long history of volunteerism, as anti-aids campaign member, as counsellor.
Built my own NGO right from scratch, ran it for couple of years educating street kids.
Tutored haemophilics and children with cerebral palsy, hearing and speech impairedness. I know sign language also.
Has been the editor of the magazine for the place, wherever I have worked.

Target Schools:
Typically one year MBA programs in top schools like INSEAD, IMD, ISADE, ISB, IIM and the like. I have not yet finalized the list of schools.

My Questions:
1. What are my chances in the kind of schools I have mentioned?
2. How do I present my extra curriculurs as you would understand that they are not like some courses that I can produce transcripts of.
3. I plan to apply for Fall 2009. So in next one year, what all should I concentrate on so that my profile becomes stronger?

Sounds like you are somewhat solid for those schools listed but only essays will reveal how deep your extracurr goes. Adcom can tell how much involvment you have with ExtraCurr once you put words into your essay.

If you need your profile become stronger, you might want to change job and start interviewing with management consulting jobs.
