Hi,
The selection seems to be reasonable. However since your Undergrad is in Mechanical it might be a little tough for you to justify your interests in Computer Science. Nonetheless your SOP will be the most critical part of your application.
Ideally you shoulf look uo some of the professors in your target school and check if their research areas interest you. If they do then make sure to mention that in our SOP.
I would also recomment if possible retake the GRE in an attempt to improve your score. Compute science programs have a rather high GRE cutoff marks in general.
All the best.
