Let’s start with the homework you’ve done:

Do your scores fall within the middle 50% of their admitted scores from the past?
How much do each of those schools prioritize extra curricular?
How competitive is your declared major in each of those schools?

Check prepscholar, they’ll give you your % of getting in (not super accurate though )

Prepscholar is absolute trash. Please don’t rely on these types of sites.

Are you a current junior planning to apply to these schools or a current senior who has already applied?

If you are a junior and this is thus a future plan rather than a list that is set in stone, here is one thought. I’m a little surprised by the inclusion of Swarthmore on this list, as it seems quite different from some of your other choices. It does not offer a Business major and is much smaller than most of your other choices @ ~1600 students. It is a fantastic school, but quite different from University of Miami in terms of its academic climate and vibe.
