I recommended NJ public schools because finances appear to be an issue and it is difficult to get aid as a transfer student at most colleges. NJ is your state of residence and it does have some fine public colleges. Those colleges may prove to be your most cost-effective options. It is fine to apply to some reach schools but in the end you want to be certain you have some viable, affordable choices.
And as I noted above, you need to consider any Ivy level college to be reaches - not that you haven’t done a great job at your CC – it is just that few transfer spots are available.
