Below average.

Do you have excellent EC to support your app?

You are likely to get in somewhere. Probably not as many as you'd like. If you have the time, study more and retake. I'd pay 500 more for a retake for more opportunities to pick from.

My ECs are great so I am hoping that, along with my GPA, will help. Thanks for the feedback!

Your best bet is to call the schools and ask their advice. Your AA and TS scores are average with no low scores and a high Orgo score. IMO with a strong application and personal statement, you should get some interviews, but it depends on where you are applying. If you want to attend an Ivy League or more competitive school you might want to consider a retake, but only if you think you can raise your scores.

Hope this helps.
