You should definitely be good for all of those schools. Your EC's are real strong, the only other thing you could do is a little non-clinical volunteer work and maybe a leadership position. Besides that, as long as you apply early, have good LOR and PS then you'll be more than fine. In fact, I'd think it'd be worth applying to a few other great schools besides BU. Maybe like a mount sinai,tufts or NYU

thanks a lot tugboat, that definitely helps ease the stress of this whole thing
 
I'd recommend at least giving northwestern a shot, esp since you're an il resident.

ec's look good, although i feel like your numbers don't help you all that much
