You have pretty decent scores, but your extracurriculars are pretty minor. It is pretty hard to judge, but realistically, the extracurriclar status makes it unlikely.
Too difficult to read as you are academically qualified anywhere, but so are a lot of other students. “Premedihead” has a good point on EC participation, but we don’t know the context of your work/study,/family situation/etc. Admissions are not based on GPA and scores alone.
Wherever you go it would most likely be helpful for you to get involved in an activity you appreciate. This will build your support group I’m sure Prof. Hawking would have agreed! You too may become an outstanding salesperson for the sciences!
You did pick a very challenging list. You can, however, do the work at any of these schools.
