your list looks good to me!

What is your state of residence? What type of URM are you? Any language skills or service to the community you represent?

I am from Louisiana. I am a Hispanic male (Venezuela). I am fluent in Spanish and I have done some things with the hispanic community but nothing really big.

I count 8 schools on your list where you have a fair to good chance of an interview. That's usually enough.

 

[Faha]

Add Louisiana Shreveport, Creighton, Loyola, Georgetown and GW.

Oh gosh, forgot to type LSU Shreveport. Arent Georgetown and GW both really low yield schools?

As long as you have enough to get in somewhere the rest is personal preference.

I'll bet you can guess!

Add Louisiana Shreveport, Creighton, Loyola, Georgetown and GW.

They have large class sizes, near 200 students, and URM candidates are desired.

S. Americans are not generally considered UiM. Language skills are still appreciated, though.
