very interesting profile. If you can tie in your non profit work with a specific passion of yours (i.e. why did you set up that particular initiative) that would help. I would say that if your numbers were a little higher then you would have a realistic shot at the very top schools. That being said, your school selection seems to be appropriate as long as you execute well on your applications. good luck. cheers, alex
