Take my advice with a grain of salt, but D1 athlete is a golden goose egg of an EC, and will really set you apart. Bioengineering is seen as a hard major, and you have great research. The patents and awards are super cool. Not a ton of service but I think you could pretty much apply wherever you want, aim high!

You have a good list and should receive several interviews.
