Your scores might be a lil low for some of those places but the rest doesn’t look that bad to be honest.

You don’t seem to have many “safety” schools on your list. Most of those are highly competitive and students with test scores much higher than yours would not be likely to get in. I would forget about Cornell, ND, Michigan, Berkeley, etc. and look for schools where your ACT scores would not be in the bottom quartile and where most admitted students are not in the top 10% of their class.
