Comp neuro PhD application advice

Hi! I am currently a master's student and hoping to apply for comp neuro phd this up coming fall. I was wondering if I could get some advice about what kind of tier of program I should aim for based on my credentials, which are ...

undergrad:

- top bme program with a minor in math

- mid grades (3.3ish)

- D1 student athlete

- 1 year research experience in comp neuro ish with no publications'

masters:

- top comp neuro program with a well regarded advisor

- conference poster and hopefully a workshop or conference paper. its in the area that i want to do my phd in which is neuro ai and computation through dynamics

- 3.8 gpa

my dream program is gatsby neuro at UCL (with Latham probably) but I know it's really competitive, but if anyone can give me advice if it might be in my reach based on my experience I would really appreciate it!! or if you could point me in another direction too that would be great.
