I think the tricky bit about your application is going to be your GMAT score; 580 is more than 100 points below the average for Booth. No matter how compelling your story is, the GMAT score could be a killer. Have you taken it more than once? If yes, have you considered taking the GRE instead?

The current 100% GMAT range is 610-790. This means you would be the lowest GMAT in the class. Your GPA, since it is from an international university, doesn't add anything to the profile. The numbers just aren't there. Booth isn't going to happen, and Stanford is an even further reach.
