Can you afford Cal, UNC and UWisc? You have a chance at Cal, but to get a better idea, you can use this: https://rogerhub.com/uc-undergraduate-admissions-calculator/
It was fairly accurate for me.

What is your class rank? I think you’ll get waitlisted at UChicago, and then at least get into one of the latter three choices.

You will need to calculate your UC weighted GPA-remember you are OOS and only AP/IB courses get the additional GPA boost. ACT is in range for Berkeley, but it’s not a safety and also it’s GPA driven.

High reach for Chicago. ECs don’t seem that extraordinary and the ACT should be closer to 34+ for a chance. I would suggest looking at the infamous essay prompts for Chicago now to get an idea of what they want in a student.
