Nick, you've started three threads on this forum with the same exact content. I get that you're looking for more feedback. The summer is kind of a quiet time on the forum since people have made their decisions on where to go, and applicants haven't started panicking about SOPs yet. I suggest you talk to some friends who are attending graduate school or mentor figures from work and school to get their take on you, especially since they know you. If you're eager for personalized feedback from alums of particular schools, ask to be put in touch with some by a school's admissions office or hunt around on LinkedIn. There's a lot of information out there other than what's available here.
