OK, here we go.

Middlebury - Very high reach - you’re in their bottom 25%, and their acceptance rate was 17% last year.

Boston Univ - Very high reach (you are in the bottom 25%, acceptance rate <20%)

NC Chapel Hill - High reach. You’re within their mid 50%, though on the low side, but you’re OOS, and OOS acceptance rates are <13%

U Richmond - Reach (you are in the GPA range, bottom 25% for ACT, 28% acceptance rate)

Wellesley - Reach (you are below average, but within the mid 50%, but acceptance rate is 21%)

Vassar - Reach (you are below average, but within the mid 50%, but acceptance rate is <25%)

Bryn Mawr - Low reach (you are right in the middle of mid 50%, with 34% acceptance rates)

Wake Forest - hard to say, since it’s test optional and doesn’t post the GPAs of it’s incoming class. However, its acceptance rate is <30%, and most students report being in the top 10% of their class, so I would consider it a reach for you

You need matches and a safety or two.

MWolf, you are basing this on GPA and ACT? I think you have a better shot at some of these schools, your ecs are good and you are from Midwest, not northeast, which helps. But, yes, throw some more safeties in the mix!

If you choose the CGS option at BU your chances improve.
