Chances?? Please

Hello all, what a cool resource! I have recently thought about and "ran the numbers" on transferring for what I want to do career wise (loans will not be a factor, so why not transfer, along with my other reasons for transferring).
I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice as to what are my odds at some of the schools on my radar. I have a 3.66 (school went pass or fail so no chance to raise grade point average), three letters of recommendation from professors, and one from a previous boss at a large firm, summer associate position at the previously mentioned firm, some work experience as a paralegal after my undergraduate degree, and URM (although my sense is that this does not matter for transferring). The school I attend is ranked around 100. I am in the top 10% and our school is not providing individual ranking. I have regional ties to the southeast but do not particularly want to practice there. If you cannot tell by my school list below, I have very little care where I end up post-grad.
I was hoping to apply to Berkeley (an acknowledged long shot, but want to try in case they are feeling generous), Hastings, Davis, Vanderbilt, and Georgetown.
Thank you for any and all advice. Please do not evaluate "why" I am transferring as I have seen on other forum topics as I have extensively researched and validated my personal "why". Thank you for your assistance!
