Probably low to very low at Harvard and Stanford.

The rest its a crapshoot. Your numbers are decent, but it depends on your ECs, role at shell/chevron, and how well your essays are written/ interviews.

I would think if you applied to all of those schools you would get into one of them, but they are all top schools and it depends on how well you marketed yourself.
