Last 3 are state universities so fees would be less

State school vs. private shouldn't be a factor. For example, Fisher is $44K for international while a lot of top 15 private schools are $55K. That extra $11K is well worth it.

This list isn't really "short" It also seems to be all over the place - I can't speak for the international schools, but for the US ones, Illinois, Rochester and Dallas are nowhere near the level of Duke and Yale. You don't want to send out a bunch of applications to lower tiered schools, then get multiple acceptances to schools you haven't visited and be stuck coming back to this forum posting a "Which school should I choose?" thread. Also - consider the cost of application fees and your capacity to write QUALITY essays for multiple schools. Too many and the quality of your applications is likely to go down. Plus, keep in mind for each school you apply to you're hoping for an interview, and preparing for and scheduling those is a chore as well.
That said, if you're looking for more schools on the level of Duke and Yale, I would consider: Michigan (Ross), Virginia (Darden), Cornell (Johnson) and UCLA (Anderson). Schools just below that group are Texas (McCombs) and North Carolina (Kenan-Flagler) are worth a look too - also, you may impress them enough to get a merit scholarship (I wouldn't count too much on need-based aid...it's tough to come by, and even then, a lot of times it's in loan form).
