Stanford and MIT are going to be stretches -- I see a lot of math and finance in you, but not a lot of mention of leadership and managing teams. Doesn't mean that you have no leadership/team skills, but that you're probably middle-of-the-road in that respect compared to other applicants. Given that these two schools really focus on these things, you're going to be a stretch - of course, if you're going to apply, then go for it (and there's no need to spend time here convincing me).

Also, not sure why you chose Columbia, as it's not really known for entrepreneurship or VC at all. You may want to swap that out for Haas, which is closer to where all the action is in the Bay Area.
