For WA state being OSS you can look at your tier you fall in which unfortunately is pretty low based on your GPA and GRE. Colorado has a specific statement on their website that applicants with a GPA below a 3.5 if I remember correctly undergo early file review to determine if an applicant moves on. Both of these schools overall I would say have a slim chance for admission unless your LORs and essays are knock out stellar. In the event you don't get in anywhere or interviews definitely do file reviews as they will be most helpful. Your science and last 45 GPA will give a lot more insight into "chances" for alot of the schools you listed, but that's just my 2 cents.
