What a great profile! You'd do well at many top business schools, except for the Round 3 liability. (Perhaps the GMAT slowed you down this year?) The good news is that most of the schools on your list, with the exception of Anderson, take a healthy percentage of Round 3 applicants. Just be sure that you give each school the research time it needs, and really have a strong idea of post-MBA goals and why that particular program. These schools are all quite different, and their "Why Our School" essays are not recyclable. That said, with hard work -- starting NOW -- and deep research, you should be a top contender.
