In Round 1 this year, I was luckily admitted to Tuck and Darden both with scholarship.
As Wharton application is already under preparation, I am considering another 1-2 schools to add into the R2 application. But I only want to focus on schools that I will definitely attend given my Round 1 offer at hand. Some consideration and details as below:
Applicant:
Chinese Female
WE: 4 years
Industry: Commercial Banking (one promotion to VP)
Undergrad: Non-tier 1 undergrad in China
GPA: 3.0
GRE: V161+Q170
TOEFL: 113
Post MBA: IB in NYC (boutique or BB)
Thoughts on Schools:
TUCK has been my FAVORITE of all time for the close community, great people I talked to, strong placement in NYC IB, $40k scholarship in total (less financial burden) and Ivy brand. Close to Boston where my boyfriend is at.
Booth and Wharton are in consideration given the M7 ranking and very strong placement in Finance. But concerns are that internal competition for finance recruiting are cut-throat and for Booth, campus safety is bothering as well. Also class size are a bit too extended.
HBS/Stanford is under consideration given TOP 2 ranking and both strong career placement. For Stanford, great community and HBS, I love case method and location in Boston which is close to significant other.
Kellogg has a great reputation for good community and strong consulting placement, but I am concern about their Finance placement.
Would love to hear some recommendation or guidance on how to plan for Round2 as the time is approaching.

Congrats on the great news!
If finance is your passion, go with Booth and Wharton. You can't go wrong with either program in terms of experience, network and placement.
HBS and Stanford are of course great options as well but are going to be much harder to get into, especially with your GPA. That being said, HBS may be worth an application since there's only one open-ended, no word constrained essay and it's in Boston, which is personally good for you.
You can easily pull off 3 applications if you push hard for the next few weeks. You already put together a few applications so you probably have content you can leverage.
What about MIT Sloan? That seems to check many boxes for you.
Congrats again and good luck,
Admissionado

First of all, congratulations on the Tuck and Darden admissions - both are excellent schools!
I am inclined to say if you want the best ROI, as defined by the highest odds for your efforts, Booth and Wharton are probably better options.
HBS and Stanford will require a powerful story of leadership and impact. If you think you have an outstanding one, it may be worth considering. You have some serious MBA application experience under your belt already so you are probably already primed to write strong application content but you need to make sure the stories are there.
Another important question is to what extent have you engaged with any of these potential R2 schools. You will need some deep research to draw on that only comes from actual interactions - with the admissions office, current students, or alumni.
FWIW, I am running a new type of MBA admissions consulting this fall - it's a closed-group membership where I work with a group of students, instead of 1:1. If you are curious, here is what it is: https://www.mymbapath.com/sprints
