Arpita,
Based on your profile and goals, I think you would be competitive (have a solid chance at) schools like Michigan, UNC Kenan Flagler, Babson, CMU Tepper, Texas McCombs, UCLA, and IE Business School. These are all strong programs with entrepreneurship resources.

Well the first thing I would ask is about your goals. Right now they seem somewhat unthought, or illogical (although not entirely). Meaning, if your goal is truly to make this family business a huge thing, why are you going into consulting? It's not necessarily the most logical of choices which will provide you that middle step towards your long-term goals. What makes far more sense would be to go into the restauration business in some sort of managerial position, or perhaps if your family business would be ready, to return to your family business immediately after graduation, in order to being building it already. Either of these choices seem to me to bring you closer to your goals than the more generic "consulting" that everyone wants to do.
Since your main goal is "General Management" and your focus is in the US, actually any program out there that interests you would be fine in terms of you reaching your goals. Admittedly, the top 10 schools would be a challenge, (although you can certainly apply to one or two which appeal to you), and your competitive range will be more likely in schools ranged (approximately) 10-30. And I suggest you look into those to see which ones appeal to you in terms of location, fit, educational philosophy, size, etc. The only one which I would say you for sure should think about is Cornell, because in addition to a fantastic MBA, they have the number one hospitality school in the nation, and this can most definitely help you out in terms of your goals. Other than that, the playing field is open, and I suggest you do some research first yourself before making your short-list.
Hope this helps you get started, and if you have any further questions, don't hesitate.
