You are in the range for UMich CoE admission but the admission rate is below 20% from OOS. It is likely even lower this year. Are you senior waiting for RD result.

As others have said you’re an excellent applicant and should get into most, if not all the schools. My comment is to maybe add MIT and CMU if you’re leaning to Comp Sci, and take out Brown if that’s too many apps. Brown is a top-notch school but MIT/CMU have better Comp Sci or Engineering programs.
