It sounds like you are quite the overachiever =) Congrats on all your accomplishments. You sound like you'll be a competitive candidate. I think you have a good chance of gaining admission to at least some of the programs you mentioned. You should also feel good about the fact that it is a lot easier to get into an LL.M. program than a JD program at these respective schools, for the simple reason that there are nowhere near the amount of applicants for the LL.M. as there are for the JD.
