Uniquifying application for top 15 colleges

[Indradeep]

Hi,
I am an Indian IT professional with 4 years of experience.
I keep hearing about how unique profile helps in getting a candidate selected. I am not thus getting into marks as I guess they are pretty non indicative of the selection process. My application strategy is based on the following(which I think are unique qualities).

1. P/T teacher for various courses in India/Australia for about 6 years now.
2. Got a Masters degree from Australia
3. Got research and teaching assistanship
4. Member of high IQ socitey, Mensa
5. Regularly visit old age homes as part of community service
6. Some extra curricular sports in school
7. Got "contibution to business awards" in office
8. Have publication and conducted trainings
9. Have got publication on the internet for students on how to crack GRE - get regular mails from students.
10 . Single handedly started GRE, IELTS, GMAT course for 3 different institues
11. Have been manager of Indian restaurant during P/T work while in Australia.
12. Have also done letter box delivery during P/T work while in Australia.

Do you think they would, if written properly help me to uniquify myself?
Any suggestion you may have to properly advicate my case?
If all else is fine, i.e. GMAT > 750, GPA > 3.4, good recos can I aim for the top 15 colleges in the US.
Regards,
Indradeep

Dear Indradeep,

Yes, admission is about your overall candidacy not just a GMAT score or GPA. Assuming you score >750, have a 3.4 GPA and can illustrate your leadership and managerial experiences in your essays, then I think you have a shot at a top 15 MBA program.

Good luck,
Lisa

Lisa,
Thanks for your reply.
So if I can demonstrate leadership using my unique EC experiences and managerial experience using work and Part Time experiences, I should be on my way to doing reasonably well. Do you think I need to do anything extra to show that I am unique from the application pool?
Regards,
Indradeep

Dear Indradeep,

Congratulations on your GMAT score! Your school list is appropriate, now you just need to work on your applications. If you can put together a compelling application effectively conveying why you want your MBA and how it fits into your career goals, then you should have a good chance.

Best of luck,
