Hard to tell without getting more deep detail out of your profile.. but generally speaking it looks like you could be quite competitive. Your list, as well as it's order, makes complete sense given your background, and I think that if you apply to ALL the schools on your list you should see results..
again this depends a bit more on the details of what you have done as well as community service extra curriculars and leadership... but overall, seems good.

Hi Jon, thanks for the encouragement! Any other schools you feel I should add to my list? I know im not a Top-7 level candidate, but hope to find myself somewhere in the 7-15th ranked schools.
