Chance me please

I am applying to many schools this fall and I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimate of my chances at each of them.

I am applying as a chemistry major (pre-med) for all of the following schools:
Boston University, Brown, Carnegie Mellon, Case, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Harvey Mudd, NYU, Northwestern, Ohio State, Princeton, University of Chicago, University of Michigan, University of Pennsylvania, Vanderbilt, Michigan State, and UCLA

-I am a white female from the midwest, I have lived in the same suburban town my entire life, in addition to English I speak fluent Spanish. I am Jewish and my parents both attended college.

-I am number 19 in my class of 400. I have a 4.315 weighted and I do not know my unweighted GPA but I had 2 Bs and 3 A- over the years. I took the ACT once and got a 34, 33 English, 35 Math, 36 Reading, 32 Science and the SAT I got a 2100 with a 700 in all 3 sections but I recently retook it. I got a 690 in the Chemistry SAT subject test and a 760 in Math II. I have a 4 in 5 AP Tests and I am taking an additional 6 this year.

-I am a National Merit commended Scholar and an AP Honors Scholar with Distinction.

-I am the captain of my swim team, I participated in a paid hospital internship and completed a research project, I started my own tutoring business and work at least 8 hours a week doing that, I am leadership in my marching band, in addition I have played the piano for 10 years, I am active at my temple, participated in our choir, I hold a chair position in NHS, and have had an additional part time job my entire high school career, I tutor hebrew (I am not fluent but know enough for supplemental help), participated in our state science olympiad and mock trial teams, various volunteer work

BU: Safety
Case Western: Safety
Brown: Reach
Harvard: Reach
Columbia: Reach
Cornell: Reach
Princeton: Reach
UChicago: Reach (even so, pay attention to your essays)
UPenn: Reach
Vanderbilt: Reach
UMI: Low match
MSU: Safety
UCLA: Low match (OOS helps at UCLA, UCB and UCSD but at any other UC, state residency doesn't matter)
NYU: Safety (regular or Steinhardt, Stern and Tisch are never a safety, or even a low match, to anyone)
Dartmouth: Reach
NWU: Reach
CMU: Match
Harvey Mudd: High match

Way too many "reach-for-anyone" schools on your list, even if you are competitive for many of those schools.

I think you have a good shot at vandy, ucla, cornell, and the safties that catria mentioned, but your ec's are lacking. Harvard and Princeton are long shots but with great essays anything is possible
