Seems to me that you are a strong candidate for all your schools but Stanford and Harvard, which are pretty similar in terms of your chances. And they are reaches for everyone. Your ACT is quite high. Your APs are less so-I assume you probably won’t send them. Would be good to see some SAT2’s for schools like Harvard. Top scores in Math 2 and a science would be great support given you are interested in engineering.

You have a good chance at most of the schools on the list except for Stanford, Vanderbilt, Harvard, and Brown. The 33 ACT puts you in the 25-75th percentile for every school in the country, so if you work on your essays, you have a solid chance at the ivies as well.
