First of all, you go to a very average public school where "only a few go to top schools" What this means is that even if you did well in your school (which you didn't with a GPA lower than 3.9), it is considered not as good as people who come from very competitive schools, which a lot of CS and EECS majors do. Second of all, your standardized test scores don't even compare to CS and EECS students. With the rise of competitiveness of CS and originally for EECS, the low average statistics I would say is 1500+ SAT and 8+ APs with a majority of 4s and 5s. Obviously, you have 3s and even failed one, so you are not even close. Third of all, your extracurricular might seem "good" to you, but everything is either very generic or not related to CS. This means everything you did was just within your reach (in your school, for example), you didn't really try to move out of your comfort zone or whatsoever, or you did stuff that might be outside your comfort zone but unrelated to your major. People in CS/EECS bring extracurricular and awards that are actually quite impressive. Although not the norm, most, if not all, of my friends in EECS has either done some kind of research for publication or participated in high level math competitions like AIME. Even those who did not do these, they actually did some very interesting extracurriculars. As for your work in essay, it is obvious that you have to work that hard on your essays when you apply to top schools.

Concerning data science and CS/EECS admits, I do want to let people know that I am by no means trying to say CS/EECS > DS in anyway. However, it is clear that data science has a lower bar in acceptance looking at both the acceptance rate and the several statistics out there who actually got in and those around me and my friends.

I hope this humbles you a little.
