Chance Me Maybe?

Hi!!! Im new here!
Im an Asian male, looking to get into UIUC Urbana Champaign, Carnegie Mellon, and Purdue.
Applying early for all.
MAJOR: MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
GPA: 4.66/5
SAT: 1460,1460,1440
SAT superscore: 1480, Essay:19/24
SAT subject Math II: 740
AP Calc BC: 5
AP Physics C:Mechanics: 4
member of various clubs, suchas robotics, and computer coding(not leader)
meh essay.
50+ hrs of volunteering
So…what are my chances?

@ECPcharles

GPA: Looks good
SAT: On the lower side, slightly below average for mech e students
SAT Subjects: Where are the subject scores? You probably need Math II and Physics
AP’s: I think that AP Physics C: Mechanics score is going to kill your chances, mech e revolves around physics and that score really matters. However, a 4 may be fine.
ECs: based on what you wrote, you seem pretty average, not being a leader may hurt since colleges like leadership
Essays: I hope they are better than “meh” because you’ll need spectacular essays to compensate for other things
Volunteer work: what was it exactly? Was it useful work or was it just for college apps

Chances:
UIUC: really low (medium reach)
Carnegie Meloon: really really low (super reach)
Purdue: low (low reach)

@GoBears2023 Thanks for your input!
You pretty much said what I figured. :confused:
Volunteer work is just helping out at various walks and fundraisers and tutoring younger students. Pretty much just for college apps
Much appreciated!

@ECPcharles No problem!
