How competitive am I for a MSc in Chemical Engineering?

[prgloria]

I'm looking to apply to top 10 MSc ChemE programs and at the least top 20. 

My GPA is 3.90/4.00 in Chemical Engineering at RPI. I have one industry research paper and one pending research paper at school. I have one summer of research completed and one spring of industry experience in RnD at Corning Incorporated. I also plan to do research this fall semester during applications. 

I took practice tests for the GRE and I'm getting roughly 165 Q and 155 V most times with a few higher scores in Q. 

Considering my strong interest in biotechnology, what are some schools that I should aim for? 

I really like the MSc research programs at UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, UCLA, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Stanford, and UCSB.
