Should I add any safeties or are these schools enough?

Add some safeties just to try and leverage some money. Good luck.

Yale is out. Probably H and S also. Add some safeties in the region/city of your choice.

Also probably out at Berkeley, but a great shot at MVP.

TITCR, good luck!

Apply to Texas, Vandy, UCLA for money.

Out: HYS, B
Slim chance: CCN, MVP
In: DNCG

Thanks, I got my list set up!

Columbia
Chicago
NYU
UC-Berkeley
Penn
Michigan
Virginia
Duke
Northwestern
Cornell
Georgetown
UCLA
UT-Austin
Vanderbilt

Here's to hopes that a T14 will bite,

I wouldn't even apply to HYS and Berkeley -- no chance -- and instead send a few safety apps to schools like Vanderbilt, WUSTL, BC/BU. This will give you some options with $$, most likely.

Your reaches are CCN.

EDIT: didn't see you'd posted a list directly above me. Fail. Your list now looks great.
