I’d say you have a decent chance. You have the scores. You have an interesting and varied background that might catch the eye of an adcom. A lot will depend on your essay. You GPA is a little low, but understandable if you explain it. If you are from Oregon, you are not from a terribly over-represented state. Unless you are prodigy level, your music will not likely help you. Your ECs are a little weak. Overall, you have a shot, but you definitely need some match and safety schools where you can be happy.
