I’ll be frank: these will be tough schools. 32, while an excellent score, is closer to the 25th percentile for these schools. Thus, you would need killer course rigor and grades, which it looks like you do. That being said, strong EC’s are crucial, and I see yours as good but not excellent. The fact that you taught a class is impressive. Play that up in the application to boost your chances. In addition, archeology is a refreshing change of pace to see.

Tl;dr Chances are slim unless you have really killer recs, essays and destroy the interview. These schools are a reach for about 95% of the population
