UMich (in-state)--Safe Match to Match
U of Chicago (Econ) --Match to Slight Reach (toughest major at this school)
Brown--Match
Northwestern --Match
Stanford (Econ)--Slight Reach to Reach (depends upon ECs and awards)
Michigan State--Safety

Everything looks great, but you need to realize that economics is probably the toughest major to get into at Stanford. And they pick people not just on academics, but also on athletics, contacts, future fame for the school, etc.
(For example: Are you aware that Mike Mussina, the starting pitcher for the New York Yankees, graduated with an economics undergraduate degree from Stanford?, Are you aware that Tiger Woods was also an economics major at Stanford?)

Good luck.
