I think that I would like to end up in the Cleveland Metro Area, but of the schools that I am considering, what would be the best for me? It should also be noted that my interest lies in Management.
(this is how I rank them now... what changes should I make?)
1. Harvard University
2. Yale University
3. Northwestern University
4. Dartmouth College
5. Ohio State University
6. University of Pennsylvania
7. Duke University
8. University of Texas
9. Carnegie Mellon University
10. University of Notre Dame
Or, if anyone has suggestions on other schools that might be better for my interests.

In terms of you ability to land a highly desirable and competitive job in the Cleveland area (does such a thing exist? 
), I'd rank them like this:
1. MIT
2. Dartmouth
3. Virginia
4. Duke
5. Yale
6. Carnegie Mellon
7. Notre Dame
8. Ohio State
9. Texas
10. USC
MIT is not as well known for general management as the next 3 schools on the list, but it's reputation gives it the edge. As many have discussed elsewhere, schools should largely be compared to each other within a cluster. One might consider location, family or a huge scholarship when choosing a school from a lower cluster, but none of the elite or ultra-elite on your list are all that close to Cleveland and I don't know that any of them have particularly close ties to the city.
I put CM after the elites because, in my experience, Ohio and Pennsylvania (especially Eastern Pennsylvania) are close cousins in terms of education and work. Actually, it's a very close call with CM, Notre Dame and Ohio State. all three schools have reputations for delivering grads to 2nd tier Midwest cities. It's probably a toss-up. If you can save some money with in state tuition (don't know) then Ohio State might make take the lead.
I think Texas is a good school, generally near the top of its cluster, but I think it trails in this situation because they don't have the ties to Cleveland that the 6-8 schools have. It's a two way street. I don't think many people at Texas have Cleveland at the top of their list so there likely aren't many alumni or connections to tap into; the flip side is that firms in Cleveland likely don't look to Texas because they will have a harder time attracting students from there than from other comparable schools (like Ohio State, Notre Dame & Carnegie Mellon).
I think USC is like Texas, but it's an even tougher sell to get students to go to Cleveland, so it's even less likely that firms in Cleveland actively recruit at USC.
As far as what changes, you should make, it seems strange that have a bunch of elites on your list, but you didn't include Michigan. It's only about 3-4 hours by car from Ann Arbor to Cleveland and they have a top notch general management program. Consider subbing it in for Yale. It's also strange that the only ultra-elite on your list is MIT. There are ultra-elites better known for management and there are ultra-elites that are closer. Kellogg seems like the logical choice; it's in the Midwest (that's a hard sell for a lot of companies), it's an ultra-elite and it's strong in general management.

My knowledge of midwest geography is a little spotty, but why don't you drop USC, TX, and Duke, and replace them with Chi, Kellogg, and Illinois?
