ABSN, I need a little reality check here

I'm currently planning on applying to some of ABSN programs with my B.A in Psychology. While reading many threads here and making a list of schools I'm going to apply for, I feel like my schools are not spread out well for my GPA. I just want to hear some opinions about my choices of school from those who have applied or applying to ABSN programs and see where I am and what I should do to make better list.

So, this is where I am now:

Undergrad GPA (I spent first 2 years in different school)

First 2 years (3.5+)

Last 2 years (2.73)

Pre-reqs GPA (AP I&II, Micro, Human growth, Stat, Nutrition, Chemistry I)

4.0

Volunteer at the hospital for 1 year

and this is the list of schools I have so far:

Drexel University

Rutgers University

Simmons College

Stony Brooks University

University of New England

University of Delaware

Binghamton University

MCPHS

Would these schools I picked too high/competitive for me to get in? Should I lower my bar and look for different school? Which school do you think I have good chance or getting in and which school I have not?

Your GPA is great! However, some schools may or may not consider your undergrad GPA when considering your application. Also, these schools may require an entrance exam, like TEAS or HESI. I'd say go ahead and apply and see what happens!
