With a well-written application, I think that all of the schools on your list are viable options. When choosing a safety school, look at the next tier down but also only consider schools that you would actually attend. Many people choose safety schools but then realize that they don't really want to go there when they get in. Make sure your safety schools have the retail focus that you seek.

Hi giblse2,

It seem like you have a great chances of getting into a top program with the right application. My suggestion on your current list is to not overload work by applying to too many schools - you want to spend a lot of time on your top choices and make sure you get in. My philosophy is to apply to less but do more for each school.

On safety schools, my two thoughts are 1. you don't need to apply to a safety school. Business school is really expensive so if you don't get in to your top choice you might just wait another year 2. consider your state school because of the pricing.
