GPA is only a small part of the equation. Based on what you have written, it doesn’t look like you have a strong shot. Successful applicants to top econ programs, in addition to stellar GPA’s and GRE’s (800 Q), they have impressive research experience in economics and outstanding letters of recommendations. You haven’t mentioned anything about economics research nor potential letters of recommendation and without these, you’re done.
