The stats you listed look reasonable for the schools to which you are applying. However, a large part of your application rests on your essays and interviews. It is impossible to pinpoint the weaknesses in your applications without seeing the full package. Therefore, it is difficult to give you your chances of getting into the colleges you listed. I would recommend that you solicit feedback from the colleges that rejected/waitlisted you in order to identify areas that require improvement.
