Where should my focus of schools be on (tier wise)?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Here is my school list- I added more than 25 BUT many of them have limited/no secondary essays. Also many of the tops except for a couple, I picked based off US news matriculated data which wasn't too far from my own stats.

Stanford- Dream
Cornell
Northwestern
Emory
Harvard- (just because no essays for secondary)
Duke - similar stats
Yale

UCLA -IS
UCSF - IS + no sec essay
UCI - IS
UCD - IS
