Need some advice on MSF applications

I currently reside in India, I wish to pursue MSF in fall 2024, my goal is to get into IB and I only want to work in IB after that and willing to do whatever it takes. I am working right now and simultaneously doing post graduate certificate in Banking and Finance. Due to Lack of time I did a little bad in my gre as well with a 152 score in Quant. Here is the list of universities I plan on applying. 

-ASU
-UT Arlington 
-Northeastern University
-Indiana University Bloomington
-Fordham University, New York
-Southern Methodist University
-University of Rochester
- Georgetown University
- Umass Dartmouth/umass boston (not convinced if i should apply)

- University of Houston.

I want to stay close to New York, Chicago, Boston. As per my knowledge these are the places to go for IB. Any suggestions on what I should do.
