Can you please categorize these schools as far as reach, likely and safety based on my profile?
Do legacies count for anything? My wife and both her parents attended Cornell if that helps at all.

Thanks for your time!

My concern is - What round are you planning to apply? Cornell second round deadline is approaching in November. If you want to take advantage of 'legacy' you need to sit for GMAT - ASAP! I would avoid round3 as much as possible. Applying in round 3 - should be your last case scenario.
