Schools in the bottom half of the top 16 are where you should really target -- Darden, Duke, Michigan, Haas, UCLA, NYU, Cornell and Yale. These are likely your sweet spot schools (choose 3-4 from this list). Kellogg, Booth, Columbia, Sloan and Tuck are stretches (i.e. choose 1-2 from this list). Schools outside the top 16 like UNC and Kelley are more likely safeties (i.e. you should be able to get into these two schools you applied to so long as your applications are decent and you don't run into bad luck).
