This is actually the data you'll want to look at (above is just for AA, not MA).

Your chances are solid in the lower T14.

Happens to the best of us.

OP, something you'll want to realize with the data set I provided above is that the GPA does venture into median territory for many of the T14, so it's possible the data might skew a bit optimistic for you. You're still very likely good in the lower T14, but I just wanted you to realize that theoretically a bunch of those Chicago admits, etc. might have been 3.9/167 URMs, as opposed to being 3.8/165 or some other combination. It shouldn't make a huge decision in your chances, but something to keep in mind when gauging your own profile against those of people in years past.

And gotcha. This is why I'm really leaning on sending in the apps as early as possible and then hopefully update the schools with a higher score if Im not seeing any results later in the cycle.
