Anything I should add/erase from my list? Thanks!!

Delete some of those OOS publics (e.g.MO). They expect you to get into a good MI school (or at least a bargain!).

Thanks @gyngyn! That's a great point.

Any other suggestions? @Goro?

You don't need 32 schools. Like gyngyn said take out those states schools that heavily favor their own.
