Where do you want to live/work immediately after b-school? (i.e. not what you're planning to say in the essays, but what you really want to do in reality).

If you end up scoring 700+ on the GMAT, based on your profile, I would say you are a good candidate for pretty much all of the top schools. Which schools are your "dream, realistic, and safety schools"?
Let's say you score 700 on the GMAT then I would say:
Stretch schools: Any of the top 7 schools on US News ranking
Realistic Schools: probably 8-15 on US News rankings
Safety Schools: 16-20+ on US News rankings
You will need to do a lot of legwork to figure out which schools fit your career objectives and lifestyle (fit). I would pick 2-3 schools from each category and go for it!
Good luck!
