no1 can help u decide ur spec. and all the four mentioned above are almost similar in terms of competitiveness.. i personally think u have a very good chance of landin up somethin provided u apply to programs which dont mind an attempt.. apply to as many progs as u can..

150-200 is a very good number if u have deep enuf pockets. most ppl are in 50-75 range. call indiv prog for their level of "mindedness"
