Nothing stands out in particular to me in your application. That's also a lot of schools, if you're actually applying to all of them. IMO Stanford, Berkeley, Caltech, Columbia, etc. will be a reach.

Your GRE and TOEFL are weak. I agree with Edotdl that nothing stands out about your profile for me. You have a fair chance of getting into UT Dallas, Arizona State, Oregon State, Ohio State, University of Washington. As for the rest of them, I wouldn't count on it. Sorry!!
