Carnegie Mellon - High match
Stanford - Low reach
Cornell - Low reach
Rice - Match
UCLA - High match
UC Berkeley - Match
UPenn - Low reach

Ivies are reaches for pretty much everyone, but you have a very good chance at the ivies you're applying to.

Your ACT score is exceptionally better than SAT score and ECs are great along with volunteering hours.

Are you applying to SCS at CMU? If so, CMU is reach/high reach depending on what you scored on the math portion of the ACT. A 730 on the Math II is probably significantly under the 25th percentile of accepted applicants to SCS.

Stanford - high reach (ECs aren't really strong enough, especially for CS)
Cornell - reach
Rice - low reach
UCLA - match
UC Berkeley - again, if you're applying for comp sci...high(ish) reach. especially considering you don't have computer/science/tech related ECs.
UPenn - high reach

none of them seem completely unrealistic though. good luck!

Whoever thinks CMU is a match is not familiar with SCS. It's the most competitive school to get into at CMU. What are your SAT and ACT breakdowns? Your SAT IIs are low, and you don't really show much interest in the sciences/math based upon what you have listed. Nonetheless, you never know until you give it a try, so go for it. Your chances may be slim but it's still more than what you would have without applying at all.

lol @ the person that described Stanford and Penn as high matches...how did i miss that before
