You shortlist is pretty restricted and seems to indicate that you have just stuck to the ranking approach for finalizing your options. You are missing out on some really great options such as Haas, Kellogg, Ross which can be really good for enabling your transition from S&T to PM.
Would urge you to hedge your strategy as HWS admits will depend on a wide variety of factors and hence there is always a degree of ambiguity regarding the final outcome to these schools.
