You definitely have a strong chance of being accepted to Gtech and Umich. All the rest are reaches for anyone and unpredictable, but I’d say you have put together a compelling app.
You are a competitive applicant. Your stats are good and your ECs are decent. Your hooks will probably help your profile. Write great essays and you could get accepted to any of these schools
OP, while I am not qualified to comment on your chances, you are an outstanding student! Well done.
May I ask, is it common for kids in your hs, aiming for acceptance to an elite college, to take THAT many (11?!) AP courses?
URM with good grades/standardized test scores-you have a good chance of admission for most of the schools on your list except for the top ones.
Stanford and MIT are reaches for anyone but your demographics and grades will mean that you might get into at least 1 of your reaches.
