College list for IB/Consulting

Hi all, I'm currently a high school senior applying as a domestic student in the US. I have a solid profile and I'm hoping to pursue IB/Consulting post-undergrad. I am pretty much set on doing finance and perhaps poli-sci/government as a minor if I can do it at a top school without a business/finance degree. Here is my college list (I've tried to add as many targets and semi-targets as possible)

Rutgers [in state]

Texas A&M

UIUC

Northeastern University

Boston University

Boston College

UNC Chapel Hill University

UT Austin

UVA McIntyre

Tulane

UMichigan Ross

University of Notre Dame

UC Berkley Haas

NYU Stern

USC Marshall

Georgetown

UCLA

Cornell University

UPenn Wharton

Columbia University

Carnegie Mellon Tepper

Any feedback on the list?

Not sure what your definition of solid profile is but if you have a 4.0 UW GPA (or close to it) and a 1500/34+ SAT/ACT, and some strong extracurriculars you should add more Ivy’s than Wharton.
