1. MIT does not have a business program. It's a technical college - math, science, and engineering. A few of the other colleges you've listed - U Chicago and Berkeley, for instance - are best known for their technical schools as well. You might want to make sure these colleges even have business programs. And you're not going to get into any of these by being an average student - you'll need a high GPA and SAT scores. But you're only a freshman - start looking into other schools as well, and keep up your grades.
2. Depends what you watn to do in college. But these days UC Berk is really competitive, evne people with 4.0 and above dont get in anymore (pretty ridiculous) same with UCLA (they are really selective) UC Davis is within reach generally you need around 3.75+ and a good SAT score to get in there. All the rest i dont know except MIT is the hardest to get into out of those.
