By top MBAs i'm considering Ivies and some more tops in the US.

I'm 20 y.o., brazilian, about to start the 5th semester of an 8 semester Business course, in one of Brazil's best private universities. I'm making some plans for the future in order to get into the MBA, so for the sake of simplicity let's consider that i will be able to accomplish all i expect to, in the next few years.
- I'm planning on ending the course among the top 5% of the students.
- I'm going to work full-time as a trainee at Dell, for 1 year (while on college, in brazil it is more possible to do so. so once the one year is due, i'll have 2 semesters left to finish college)
- With 2 semesters left to finish college, i'll buy/open a small company, with some good amount of money i'll receive (not getting into that), i expect to buy or open a company worth around U$ 100,000. After some 2 years, i expect to sell it for some U$ 150,000+. This will be one year after i finished college, just to keep you update on the timeline.
- I expect to get a great grade on TOEFL given my english fluency, and at least 700 at GMAT.
- I already know english fluently, and have an intermediate level of spanish, which i expect to be fluent at, by the time i candidate myself. I am also learning chinese, and expect to have intermediate knowledge of it by the time i candidate. I also know basic german but am unsure if i'll study it until then, so let's rule it out.

Do you think that if i accomplish everything written above, added to fine letters of recommendation and essays, i can get into the top US MBA programs, like Stanford's (my currently preferred one, although it can change)? I plan to try it by the time i'm 23 or 24.
Of course what i said above may prove harder to achieve than i thought (and it very likely will), so i may not achieve everything i plan to, but i'm pretty optimistic i'm capable of it.
