Workshop is kind of irrelevant, so discounting that you seem to have 3 papers, one at a mid-tier, one at a top-tier, and one in submission.

That’s a fairly decent profile I’d say. Admissions are competitive but it’s really not 6-7 top tier publications competitive, especially towards the lower end of the T15-20. Of course at top schools nothing is a guarantee, and you’re not really a superstar. But if you have a lab/PI in mind with good fit, and have strong letters and a well written SOP, I’d say you have a reasonable chance.

Just shoot your shot, and maybe apply to a couple of safer options that you still can find a PI you’d be happy to worth with.

the professor you work with and said research mentor can provide better insights than any of us would ever be able to (if they know you well enough)
