Dear Shipa,
You have a competitive profile for these programs. However, none of them are a safety option. These schools are all top 15 programs so are a bit of a reach for anyone based on the size of their applicant pools. Safety options for you are going to be schools in the 20-40 range where you will stand out more in their applicant pool. Regardless of whether a school is a safety or reach, you will need to put together a strong application package and make a compelling case for your admission.
Best of luck,
Lisa
