Longterm - Expand business overseas and determine new strategic vision of business.

You have a shot at all the schools on your list, but Wharton, CBS, haas, Kellogg, HBS, Sloan and Stern are all stretches. You are more competitive at LBS and INSEAD, which may be better choices for you too, especially INSEAD.
