Please see my comments:

Tier 1 (apply one): USC, UT Austin -- Competitive/ Stretch
Tier 2 (apply any two):
Cornell, (Stretch)
UVA, (Competitive)
Carnegie mellon, (Competitive /stretch)
kenan flaglar (Competitive)
Tier 3 (apply one): Indiana, Emroy, Georgia Tech, Ohio ...(Competitive)

----My suggestion would be that you work for a corporation in US when you come over here, gain some solid global work experience and then apply to b-schools. This will help solve the oral communication problem that you have right now. Most bangladeshi's take over 6months to a year before their oral communication improves. Hope this helps.

Good Luck.
