Your EC's aren't horrible, but there's nothing about them that stands out. The guy on your other thread was right in that your only true weak point is the rigor of your schedule.

Reach: Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Caltech, Johns Hopkins (Low reach)
Match: Washington St. Louis (high match), Northwester, CMU, Cornell, Berkely, UCLA, USC, Umich
Safety: Purdue, Illinois, RIT
Don't know about the rest

You should aim for 2-3 of the reaches, 3-5 of the matches, and two bona fide safeties.

I don't know what your preferences are, so I can't narrow it down. Tell me which you would apply to out of Stanford, Harvard, and MIT, and the other schools will fall in line.

For example, if you like MIT, stick with Caltech, Carnegie Mellon (techy schools)
If you prefer Stanford, apply to Umich, UC-Berkeley (well-rounded universities)
If you like Harvard, go with Johns Hopkins and Cornell (snooty east coast)
