Congratulations for the good score! I would suggest to post your queries in the admission forum.

I do not have much idea about your field but I can say that Northwestern,Yale,Upenn,SUNY-Stony Brook are not moderate at all. Do not follow the rankings blindly because some of these universities have a very low international intake. UC Davis, for instance, would be extremely ambitious and impossible to get in because of the reasons mentioned above.

Good luck!
