I am always amazed at the number of folks who ask "what are my chances?" It's not like we are sitting on the AdCom, or have a crystal ball that can reveal the future. And if I had one, I'd be asking it for lottery numbers...

GPA is good, GRE is okay (AW is weak). If not directly in, you could probably get off the waiting list pretty easily/quickly at most schools.

It really depends on the applicant pool. My best advice is to look at each program's PTCAS page and see average admitted statistics and see how you compare. It's a safe bet you'll get an interview if your stats are greater than the average admitted, and likely an acceptance if you rock your interview. Best of luck!
