Your SAT is low for all of the schools. You will want to up it to around 1400 at least for Villanova as Villanova’s average for new SAT is around that. ND would be 1500 plus

I would contact your admissions rep for these schools if you are able to before Nov 1. While the acceptance rate for EA is typically higher than that of RD, the admissions office may advise you to hold off and apply RD if you think you can re-take the SAT and get your scores up a little. Or take the ACT

Agree, all are reaches with your SAT.
