I am going into my senior year in high school, and was trying to get a final opinion on my chances.

APs will take: AP Calculus BC, AP Computer Science A, AP Physics C E+M and Mechanics, AP English Language
Class Rank: Top 20%, but at a nationally-ranked school. #1 Public School in Ohio.
I can get solid recommendation notes (my physics teacher is a Georgia Tech alum and holds the President’s award for science teachers or something elite like that)
Played JV baseball 9th-10th grade
Have been a part of 5 musicals (4 acting, 1 crew) and 1 drama at my high school
Won a local award for “Best Supporting Actor” in my school drama
A part of a national festival, the Cincinnati Fringe Festival, as an actor in the FringeNEXT program
Holds positions in 2 volunteer groups, Unified for Uganda and Modern Abolitionists Movement
A part of an after-school acapella club, For Good Measure.
Has an official job with a company
Tutors and is a teacher’s assistant/student worker
The schools I’m looking at (and want to be chanced for) are:
University of Pittsburgh
University of Illinois (both Chicago and Urbana-Champaign)
Georgia Tech
Illinois Institute of Technology
Oberlin College
Ohio University’s Honors College
University of Cincinnati
Ohio State
Purdue University
Northwestern (I know, a reach)
Rose-Hulman
Carnegie Mellon
I know this might not be the best forum to say this, but if anyone has any other schools please let me know!
I also want an opinion about double majoring/dual degree-ing theatre with Civil Engineering? is that at all possible? If not, could I minor in theatre, or maybe major in a more broad science and do Civil Engineering/Urban Planning as a grad student?
Any help is much appreciated during these hectic times.
