The problem with your NYC list is the class sizes. Sutherland has only 1 spot, so I personally didn't want to bid on them. However, the firms with huge classes are out of reach for your grades. I would maximize firms like Katten (20ish SA's, but not GPA sensitive) - if you look at the list you'll find a half dozen or so firms with a similar profile.
