Your gpa is on the low end but your act scores are excellent. I'd say you have solid chances for most schools on your list.

Seems like all of these school are targets. Your GPA is a little bit low, but your ACT scores balance that out and you have a decent set of extracurriculars. I would say you'll get accepted to most of those schools with any luck.

Carnegie Mellon U: High match
Johns Hopkins U: Low Reach b/c of GPA
NYU: Match
UMich: Match
Case Western Reserve University: Match

GPA would be the only reason why any of these schools turn you down everything else makes up for it.

Hopkins is somewhat of a reach because of the GPA, but your ACT score helps you alot. The rest seem like matches.

I'd say match to all those schools, maybe not Carnegie Mellon/Hopkins because of your low GPA

GPA is a bit low but other than that you have fairly decent EC's and an impressive ACT score. JHU and Carnegie Mellon are both slight reaches or high matches but everything else should be fine!

Chance me back please Chance me maybe?
