I would say you have an average chance for all of these schools, your ECs stand out but your GPA is a bit below average, so I think it will balance out.

Your GPA is at the low end of admission at UMich. How is our class rank? Your test scores are within the mid 50. So it would be a mid reach for you.

Wash U- Reach (Very stats oriented)
UCLA- Reach ( I’m not sure your stats are much higher than the avg but the admit rate for OOS is so low)
Emory- Reach( Emory can be picky about GPA and Essay)
UMich- Low Reach(OOS)
USC- Match (Very Straight Foward admissions based almost solely on stats)
