I don’t know if you forgot to add this or something but what about Bio? Are you not planning to take AP Biology? Its not like you need to take a subject test for that but by not taking AP Biology that could be a problem. ACT and Subject tests are good. However, you don’t seem too well rounded as a student when it comes to STEM vs “nonSTEM” courses (I know that’s not a word but you get my point). I’m not sure if you’ve gotten many As in your APUSH/Lang and other classes like that, so I can’t comment on it too much. ECs look good, nothing that stands out too much, but also not an issue, so don’t worry about that. Here’s my prediction:

Emory - Possible
NYU - Probably no
Tufts - Yes
Rochester - Yes
UMich - Possible
Wake Forest - Yes

Good luck!
