Depending on your state:
KU - safety
UMich - low match, safety if in state
UNC - low match, safety if in state
Georgetown - high match?
NYU - high safety
WashU - match- high match
UChicago - low reach
Northwestern - high match, but if you do ED you’re basically in
Harvard/ Princeton/Yale/Columbia - obviously a reach for everyone but you probably have at least 20% chance
Penn - low reach- high match
Brown - high match
Dartmouth - high match- match
Cornell - match
Overall you have a good chance to get into at least half of these. Good luck!

WashU is definitely a match, and so is Northwestern. UChicago may be a low reach. Chance back?
