You have a chance. If you can increase your math and reading will be better.

Your chances are pretty good for all of them. I would even consider a few a safety… as long as you have higher math and reading scores. Aim for >700 and you’ll be set, since your gpa is above most, if not all, of their 75th percentiles.
