This list feels very appropriate. You will obviously need to cut it down and prioritize, especially within the Reach category for R1. If you are angling for Columbia, you really should consider Early Decision.
Michigan Ross is a Target, not a safety. We consider it to be a T15 school. NYU feels like a Target, not a Reach.
Cornell Johnson would be an excellent addition. It is more like a safety for you. What about Georgetown McDonough as well?
Overall, great profile. If you want to discuss further, please reach out for a free consultation.

Thank you for the insights!
Yes I mis-labeled. I don't really see Michigan Ross as a Safety, I just meant thinking about R2 on timing.
How many applications per round do you typically recommend given it is late June now?
