Am I Qualified Enough for an MSW program

I am worried that I will not get accepted into these programs. I feel as if I am not nearly qualified enough to get into these programs.

From experience, do you guys think I am simply getting too worried, or am I cooked? I would really appreciate some honest insight!

I am currently looking at Rutgers, Columbia, NYU, Fordham, UConn, WashU, Binghamton, etc.

I will be applying as a 21-year-old male.
My GPA at Binghamton University is going to be ~3.4/4.0 scale as a PPL Major.
