How many schools should I apply for (MFin) with this profile

Hi all, 


I'm applying to a bunch of schools, I wonder if I should add some “safety net” schools to my selection. Could you tell me if my profile is competitive for these programs or am I aiming to high?

Undergrad: Shit Uni in the UK (Top 30-50) with very little alumni in banking (First Class Honours, 74%) - Bachelor in Business Administration 
GRE: 329 (167Q 162V) which is around 730 or 740 in the GMAT
Experience: Internship in fixed income algo-trading in London (Mid sized company with 2000 ee's)
Other XP: Studied abroad for a year, and lot's of international experience, triple nationality. Very little leadership experience at Uni


Schools I'm applying to: HEC Paris, Columbia (MSFE), Yale (MsAsset Mgmt), LSE, Imperial, Oxbridge, LBS, Bocconi
School's I'm thinking of applying to: ESSEC, ESCP, NYU (MFE, heavy quant so not sure), UCLA (MFE), Tufts, Toronto University


Do you think I have a good chance of getting accepted in a program if I apply to all of those schools, or should I add more?


Thanks guys
