Impressive! I think you have a slightly lower chance at some schools than someone form, say, South Dakota, because colleges get most applicants from places in New England and California. Your ACT is incredible though, and going to a well known school is in your favor regarding GPA. Here is what I think:
High Reaches: UPenn, UChicago, Brown
Low Reaches: Colby, Wesleyan
Matches: UMichigan, UCSD
Safeties: Syracuse, Quinnipiac
