You have no shot at all at Rose-Hulman’s graduate program. They do not have one.

Otherwise you seem to be in as good a place as you can be. Your school suffers in comparison, but I would not obsess over it - your LOR’s and the quality of your research are much more important. Your school may come out in final selections, but it is all but impossible for anyone to tell you how the different schools will regard it. Personally, I think you will be okay.

From my experience in EE, Stanford and Georgia Tech are tough, while Princeton and Harvard are just tougher than they should be.
