Everything looks good, and I'd say you've got a solid shot at all of your schools, but admissions can be a crapshoot. There's nothing that really jumps out at me about your ECs, and that could work against you. That being said, I'm pretty sure you'll get into at least a few of those schools.
I think you're in at the UCs. Duke, Cornell, and Williams are low reaches, while the rest are regular reaches. Best of luck

Chance a junior for Top 20 (will chance back)

All others you have a great chance, but with ivys and stanford, there is no guarantee.
Chance me back

Like the other people said, you are a very solid candidate. Nothing stands out especially, but everything looks very good.

Too much of a crapshoot to say. You're probably in at all the UC's.

Just wondering why you are not reporting your nationality? I'm wondering because I have thought about not reporting, too. I am half-Asian, and I've read that Asians can have reverse discrimination. However, my dad is Asian, so I think they'll be able to tell by my name even if I don't "report" it.
