Nationality - Indian

Leadership roles:

- Led a team to organize an technology fair to showcase our department and functions - attended by CEO and CFO of the bank.
Post MBA I would like to take senior roles in Technology management and not looking for a career change.
I initially applied at schools in year 2009 and got admissions into few colleges, however due to bad economic situation the banks I approached for loans weren't too keen to lend. Also at the same time, I was promoted into management role at work. Thus in order to gain management experience and save funds for the programme, I deferred the MBA studies for 2 years.
I am planning to apply to US B-schools in the first round this Sept.
Questions:
1. Could you please advise if the admissions committee take time elapsed between Gmat and applications into account ? Am I too late now for applications?
2. Could you please help me evaluate the chances of getting into Top 20 US B-Schools?
3. Would it be possible to suggest potential U.S schools based on above?
Many Thanks for your help !
