In short, you have a strong enough profile that I think you can focus almost exclusively on top 16 schools. Choose 2-3 from the top 8, and 2-3 from the top 16, and maybe 1 safety school outside the top 16.

So that breaks down to:

HBS, Booth, Kellogg
Fuqua + two of Ross/Darden/Yale/Cornell/Stern/UCLA/Haas
McCombs or Tepper

With that range of schools, you should have a decent shot at getting into a few, assuming you do a good job on the applications and interviews.
