Very few ECs… Colleges seem to want more than scores, especially the high end ones. Your SAT is good for most of them but it puts you in the mid 50 which isn’t great. 4.04 unweighted…? what? Courseload is weak/Lacking APs and DE classes. Subject test are great!
Scale: Safety->Low Match->Match->High Match->Low Reach->Reach->High Reach
Caltech: High Reach
CMU Depends on your major… if it’s comp sci then it’s way more competitive than architecture. High reach for comp sci/ Low Reach for most others
Cornell: High Match/Low Reach
Georgia Tech (EA): Match
JHU: Depends on your major, Low Reach
Northwestern: Low Reach
Chicago (deferred to RD): Reach
WashU at St.Louis: Low Reach
UCB:Match/High Match
UCLA: Match
UCSD: Low Match
UCD: Low Match

Thank you have your idea! I have not only AP courses lol. 4.04 is weighted, possible maximum is 4.26.
Unfortuanately can’t really chance you back, my info is limited in students around me, and have absolutely no idea about homschooled students.
Chances:
Caltech- High Reach
CMU- Low Reach/Match
Cornell- High Reach
Georgia Tech (EA)- Match
JHU- Depends on major if Pre-Med or Biology: Low Reach, if anything else then: High Reach
Northwestern- Match
Chicago (deferred to RD)- Mid Reach
WashU at St.Louis- Mid Reach
UCB- Match/Safety
UCLA- Mid Match
UCSD- Match/Safety
