Hello,

Your candidacy overall looks quite promising. That said, all the schools you mention are reaches - reasonable ones, but on the high side. Therefore, you might want to add a couple of other schools that would meet your needs but may not be quite as competitive. I'd suggest taking a look at Cornell, LBS, Tepper, among others.

Best regards,
