318 GRE- What Schools to Target

Military candidate here.  Not a pilot or a special forces operator, but I do work in logistic support with Seal teams during my last operation in the Navy.   My GPA is on the low end with a 3.2.  I just took the GRE the other week and ended up scoring a 318 (160Q 158 V) and i've decided its time to apply this year.  My end career is consulting.

I was wondering what schools I should realistically be targeting.   For round 1 I'm planning for Harvard and Wharton as my 2 reaches. (harvard being a big reach, but my current boss went there and is prepping me for my application) Duke and Tuck are my target/ideal schools.   If i have time for a 5th application i'm wavering between NYU and Columbia (one being a reach, one possibly in range.)

If none of these pan out, what are some schools I would realistically have a shot at in round 2 that will help me get where I want.   I'm not MBB or bust, but at least having a shot at the biggest employers in the industry would be a nice perk.
