your applicant pool is large, so standing out is challenging, but I like your involvment outside of work. To your questions:

1. Which 2 colleges should i choose as backups for my area of interest? Look at Duke, McDonough, Owen
2. Which 2 colleges do you think I have a fair chance of getting in? You should stand a chance at all three of your targets with a well crafted application.
