Consider the following points kewldudeer:
Cheers,
- - Your work sounds interesting but you've provided more a job description rather than achievements/highlights. You'll need to articulate those eventually - think of what makes you stand out and how will you differentiate in your peer group.
- The Cricket thing is good and so are your other efforts. It will be interesting to understand why you have been up to the Actuarial aspects as it doesn't seem to be related to your professional work and/or your post-MBA plans. Which btw is not something you've explained/shared either.
- For reasons mentioned here, we do not speculate on school selection. But the GMAT could slightly mar an otherwise interestingly positioned profile. A higher score can definitely improve your prospects.

I think indeed it may be- all things being equal a higher GMAT is always better- but I think you have some strong professional experience and that you can be a compelling candidate at these programs.
