Your chances at UCI will depend on how your GPA appears by UC conversion standards. In a best case scenario, UCI could serve as a near-safety for you.
NYU and BU seem to represent fairly likely admits for you based on your general profile.
Your chances at JHU, Columbia, Georgetown, Hamilton and Northwestern might depend on how highly these colleges value your tennis achievements. Submit a “sport-specific recruiting form” (or similarly named questionnaire) at your earliest opportunity for schools at which you would like to continue playing competitively.
Your chances at Stanford may depend on the value placed on your family connection to the school.
You might think twice about applying to colleges at which your ACT falls below the 25th percentile for attending students. However, as a junior, your score may still improve. Additionally, as a prospective pre-med student, be certain to choose an environment at which you would be supported by a strong health professions advisory committee and at which you feel confident you could excel.
