For the class of 2016 at UMD College Park, according to the admissions person I spoke with last spring, the average math SAT score was over 700, and the average weighted GPA was over 4.2. Sounds like your GPA will be fine, and because of your other stats I’m pretty sure you’ll get in there, but none of the schools you mentined are easy. My son applied engineering to Georgia Tech, UMD, Case Western, and RPI, and UMD had the lowest acceptance rate to engineering, at about 32%. For some reason, the SAT was hard for my son also. He had top scores on the SAT 2 and the ACT, but barely broke 700 on the SAT 1. Good luck to you.
