The only issue would be your SAT score, you should try ACT too maybe it would be better. Other than that your application stacks up pretty well and i think you have a great shot at all of these schools.
Chance back please?

Your SAT is a bit low. If you get it up to say, a 2100 your chances at those schools would improve greatly.
I think your on set for Emory. For the other two, if you can bring it up to a 2100 or even a 2200, you would have an amazing shot. Good luck.
