This is maybe obvious advice, but you could think critically if school X was the only one you were admitted to, would you go or would you not attend at all/reapply next year?
If the answer is that you wouldn’t attend, save the time and $250
Aim for 5. Take 2 dream schools, 2 good shots, and 1 safer bet. Facctors I used in order: ROI/goals, culture, and then location. Don't apply anywhere that you would not be incredibly happy to attend!

Skip the safety, you only MBA once
Unfortunately I don’t think any of the schools on the list is a safety for me haha
It is unlikely that you can put together 8-10 really strong applications in the next ~55 days.
You could wait on safety/likely schools until R3. Perhaps 2-3 stretch (all M7 are stretch regardless of your profile) and 2-3 target schools.
