You are a competitive applicant. Your stats and ECs are good. Get a 33+ on the ACT or a 1500+ on the SAT, with two subject test scores of 700+. Focus on a particular subject matter for your ECs, whether it be business, science, etc, and pursue it by doing ECs that are related to one another. You want to demonstrate passion and skill in a particular subject matter or two. Write great essays and you could get accepted to any of these schools

As a rising junior, you definitely have quite a rap sheet already. Focus on tests, especially the PSAT and you should be in a good position for all of the schools you listed
