I disagree. While you should decline offers from places that you will not reasonably accept, do not decline all non first choices until you visit. You may find that the person you want to work with is intolerable, or that you don't like the environment, or a host of other things.

I feel like a jackass for doing this, but it's kinda funny: I've never before met a necrotic perfectionist.
As for your chances, I don't know much aside from what I've read on here, but your Q might hurt you but if they can get past that, then you have a strong profile. Do you have much research experience? When you say published, what do you mean?

Then I feel bad for your subfield. Seriously though, 'fun' was probably a bad choice words. I should have said that it's a journal people keep up with (according to psjr) even if they aren't working on that particular topic.

Thanks. I'm pretty excited to see it in print. What's especially nice is that it's a journal that people in the subfield tend to read for fun when it comes out, so the adcom member in my subfield may read the article before they get to my application. I imagine that might help--unless they hated the article.
I swear, I'm having nightmares about the SOP; it was so bad that it woke me up. I had a follow up nightmare about zombies, but slept right through that.
In the opposite vein of working on it until I bust, I'd like to also note Berkeley's diversity statement. I wrote that in 10 minutes, had my girlfriend and a friend look at it quickly, then submitted it. Perhaps I didn't take it seriously enough, but that seems like the type of thing that doesn't really matter.
