you should post this in the 'what are my chances' thread section. it's in the wrong forum, so you may not get a lot of replies.

My advice would be to apply only to Utah and if you don't get in, save your money and time to apply again next year. The only school I would highly discourage you from applying to this cycle is Tulane, as they have given out all of their interview invitations, but your application will be affected everywhere.

How do you know that Tulane gave out all its interviews already?

I’m an alum, I interviewed there last year, and they give out all interview invitations by Labor Day every year. It’s just how they work. The only ones left will be if people withdraw which I’m sure will happen but very minimally. Tulane has the fastest admissions process in the country. It is what they are notorious for.
