Your current GPA and SAT score are both below admission average for UMich. You do need to improve your CR score. For Ross pre-admit at UMich, it is a rather high reach for you as their admission rate is really low. Even LSA would be a reach for you from OOS.

You being an Asian male will hurt you at most of these schools, your UW GPA is a little low, as is your critical reading, but you definitely have a shot at several of these! I’m applying to 7 of the same schools as you too as a finance major and my stats are pretty similar! Hope to see you next fall!!! Good luck!
