Chance/Match- HS senior for Nursing Schools 3.73W/1490 [NJ resident, 3.63 unweighted GPA]

If you are sure about nursing but not 100% sure, I would apply as a nursing major and switch if necessary. I would not apply to a school that does not have nursing- that doesn’t make sense.

You need a budget and you need to know if the schools are affordable. Seton Hall is not a safety if it is too expensive.

SUNY Binghamton might be a reach for you, but I would definitely apply because you never know. If you were instate it would be a reach. Nursing is competitive.

I would add SUNY Plattsburgh as a safety. It is a nice school, they have a nursing major, and they participate in the tuition match.

You can also add the University of Tampa (I see you have Florida schools on your list). You might get merit to bring the cost down. I know 2 students with similar stats (one had lower scores) who received merit (nursing). You would likely make honors as a nursing student.

Your current reaches are concerning to me. I would not ED to a school without having an understanding of finances.
