You’re in good shape. Apply ED at one of the schools

There’s not a ton of advice anyone can give you since apps are coming up so soon. You’re in range for all of these schools though, and being AA will definitely help even more to bolster your app even though your stats are already great. Just write spectacular, unique essays and really refine your apps to present yourself in the best possible light; that’s really the most effective thing you can do right now.

I plan to apply ea to Chicago?

Your SATs are fantastic. ECs are great, AP scores are great. And you’re AA + technically an immigrant.

You have great chances at any school in your list. Try to visit them, and pick the one that is best for you. You’re all set imo.

Good luck, and congratulations!
