Constraints: For my match schools my parents don’t want to pay more than abt 50k per year, ideally <= 40k per year
(500k+ family income, won’t qualify for need-based aid)

Please re-read the OP’s information about family income and the budget they have set for match schools (<40-50k) vs reach (no budget constraints). It is each family’s prerogative to set a budget and whatever priorities they choose. Let’s respect that in the responses and stay on-topic to the questions asked.
