Well my temptation is to say hold off for another year. Unless you have a very good reason for applying this year. It also depends how much extra time you have to devote to your essays, and given your employer and age I'd assume you have very little free time.
I mean you want these essays and your app to be PERFECT. You definitely have a profile which is good for Top 10 schools, but so does everyone else in a similar position as you. so you want to jockey for every advantage you can get. Advantage one is R1 - which not only has better chances, but also allows you flexibility for R2 should things go south. Plus, the bigger argument is of course that you will have enough time to devote to making 5-6 really fantastic apps.
On the other hand, if you have time and the advantage for getting the jump on this a year earlier is there, you can by all means apply this R2 (and even to some of the schools).
I think you have a shot at all the schools on your list, but keep in mind that these are the top schools, and few people just walk in (I mean if you are the fastest promoted, best performing of the whole firm, then yeah, maybe you get closer to a walk-in), but you do have everything they are looking for (and no I don't think your 4.2 is a big deal.. it's not FANTASTIC, but it's good, and you need not worry about it). Just nail those essays and recs, dude and you should have your shot.
Let me know your thoughts,
