Your profile looks fairly strong to me. Feel free to apply to some of the top schools but also remember to include a couple of safe ones. Consider speaking with your recommenders as well as they might be able to give you a sense of where your right reach is. Overall the profile isn't the best I have seen but is still pretty solid. My 2 cents,
SB
