H.
You're most welcome.
You have a chance at all your target programs, however your chances will decline if you apply R3 as opposed to R2. That statement assumes that the quality of your applications will be the same whether you apply R2 or R3. While NYU may be your most likely acceptance, it and Haas are in no way safety programs. They are highly competitive programs with more qualified applicants than spots.
One question in my mind, which you should address in your application: Fron your undergrad studies and first two jobs, I would have expected you to stay in a finance related field. You switched to brand management. There is nothing wrong with making the change, but you should let your application readers understand what motivated the change (layoff?) and the return.
Best,
