PHD Finance- Is this a good list?

PROFILE:
Type of Undergrad: SUNY Geneseo (Ithaca College 1st semester- 3.92)
Undergrad GPA: 3.86 (Economics and Math majors, Business Studies Minor)
Type of Grad: None
Grad GPA: None
GRE: Have not taken yet (will this coming October. Quant 780+, Verbal 600+)
Math Courses: Calculus I-III (A, A, B+: 2 year break in between Calc II and III killed me), Differential Equations (A), Econometrics (A), Intro to Mathematical Proofs (A-), Elementary Linear Algebra (A), Business Statistics (B: Sophomore year with mono did not do wonders for me)
Going to be taking this coming semester: Real Analysis I, Probability and Statistics I, and Linear Algebra or Numerical Analysis I. Then the following semester: Prob and Stat II, and Real Analysis II
Econ/Business Courses: Intro Micro/Macro (A, A-), Intermediate Micro/Macro (A, A), Public Finance (A), Environmental Econ (A), Industrial Organization (A), Money and Financial Intermediation (A), Intro Financial Accounting (A-), Intro Managerial Accounting (A), Managerial Finance (A), Security Valuation and Analysis (A-)
Letters of Recommendation: One from Dean of Business School (formerly my Finance Prof), one from Economics Professor (also my advisor), and one from a Math Professor.
Research Experience: Completing Honors Thesis this coming year.

Other notable things:
- NCAA Division III Lacrosse (Takes up a lot of my time, but I’ve done well here as well (notable awards from it) and we’ve been ranked top 10 nationally for awhile.)
- Decided to take a 5th year at the advice of my advisor (when I decided that I wanted to pursue my PHD he told me another major in Math would be best.) Will probably graduate with 150+ credits
- Male, Native English Speaker __________________________________________________ ______________________________________



I am wondering if I should be applying to more programs/higher ranked programs? If anyone could give me any advice/recommendations I would appreciate it. My advisor seems to think that I will DEFINITELY get into at least a few of these schools, but I am not as confident.

Thanks in advanced.
