As of right now, your stats are a bit on the lower side for the schools that you have listed. Getting a 33 on the ACT will increase your chances very much, since right now your scores are in the bottom 25th percentile for those schools. Out of all of them, Villanova seems to be the most in your range. However, I applied to Villanova with almost identical stats and got flat out rejected (only school I was rejected by out of 17), so it really depends. I would suggest looking into Providence College, Fordham University, and Fairfield University as safeties. In addition, do some research on the University of Richmond, for I could see that being a good fit for you. Good luck with everything! If you have any more questions please let me know. I just went through this process and I have a lot of advice to offer!!!

You are a competitive applicant. Your stats and ECs are decent. Try bumping your ACT score up to at least a 33 and get more leadership in your ECs.
