Why was your GPA so low your freshman year? As you noted, that's the big elephant in the room. You need to adequately explain that and, even then, it may not be enough despite your 770 on the GMAT for some of the schools on your list.
That being said, I like this list you put together. You are welcome to apply to HBS but you'd be wise to view that as a hail mary of sorts. Put together the application but don't invest too much hope. There's very little room for error with them. The same goes for CBS. Yale SOM might also be tough as they put a huge emphasis on both grades and GMAT. It's hard to say for sure how they would interpret your GPA.
The others on your list seem possible and are fantastic programs. You have the right idea by creating a list that stretches super reaches, reaches and targets. You could easily substitute in a school for one on your list with Michigan Ross, Duke Fuqua, Texas McCombs, for example, but it all depends on your criteria and what you want to get out of your experience.

Hi thanks for your response. In all honesty, I turned 17 during my freshman year in college. Im not sure I was mature enough to go to another country and succeed in college at the time. I was terribly homesick and a little depressed.
