Do you mean Backup as a safety? If UNC is UNC-CH, then it won't be a safety. Also, UC-Irvine is also a great school. I don't know about the others, but I recommend you apply to wider range of programs. Your profile is good, but I'm not sure how it will appeal to others. Especially, your grad GPA will hurt you a lot. Unless you have good connection with the faculty members, as well as faculty members having good connection with the professors in the school that you're applying to, I'd say getting in to CMU, BC, PSU will be really tough (I won't say it's impossible). Well...If you have a safety school (for sure), it won't hurt applying to higher ranked schools
I thought I had a nice profile (although not the best ones), but I was rejected by 17 finance programs and 4 economics programs. Well, I did get into one (and was accepted at only one) of my favorite schools in economics so I'm fine.
Also, for most schools, you'll get a TOEFL waiver for sure, since you've being studying at U.S. for a while.
Good luck.
