Admission to top-10 Biomedical Engineering graduate programs

Hello,

I need guidance on what is needed for admission to top-10 Biomedical Engineering graduate programs.

Let's start with a hypothetical, shall we?

Here is the profile of a Ph.D applicant (lets assume no MS is needed)

<insert top 15 undergrad engineering school of a top-10 liberal arts university here>
B.S. - Biomedical Engineering AMET certified
GPA - 3.800
4 years of research experience (have been doing research ever since the day i got here as a freshman!) broken down:
Biochemistry (one semester, protein folding stuff)
- unofficial publication/symposium presentation
Bioinformatics (one and a half years, computational molecular analysis and algorithms)
-1 paper publication in major journal
Biomedical Engineering/NeuroScience (from the summer between Freshman and Sophomore until graduating, 3 years including summers, many different projects within the field of neuroengineering, both biology and engineering focused)
-3 paper publications in major journal(s)

Now I have done everything except in the BME/NeuroScience projects I do, only 1 publication not 3, however 3 is most definitely not an overestimation for what I'll have when I get my B.S.

so could I get into John's Hopkins/MIT/UCSD/Duke/UWash which are the top 5 Bioengineering/Biomedical Engineering grad programs?
US Graduate Bioengineering & Biomedical Engineering School Rankings
would it make a difference if my GPA was, say, 3.7 instead of 3.8?

what GRE/MCAT scores do I need? I am planning on applying to MD-PhD programs as well as BME grad, any advice on those?

also i forgot to say if not, then

1 - what school could this applicant get into
2 - what could this applicant do differently to get into a top5/top10 school?
