An important consideration should be the level of the courses that you've taken in the Grad level. For instance, did you use MWG/ Varian's Analysis for your Micro theory course. If these courses were rigorous enough then they should definitely act as good signals. Your grade in econometrics is a bit on the lower side, considering you'll be doing a lot of time-series in FE. However, your Stat course performance may partially alleviate that problem.
I wouldn't say that you don't have a shot at top schools, but the general advice would be to apply widely across the board, with let's say 1-3 top 10, 5-6 reaches and 2-3 safeties. You might refer to the EconPhD.net rankings for selecting schools based on your specialties.
