you stand a good chance at all your schools. places like harvard and stanford are unpredictable but you are a good applicant for those places.

Do you take golf/tennis lessons or give them? The former is not considered an EC imo

UCLA - Low Match/Safety
UCSD(medical scholars 8 year program) - Safety
UCI-already accepted - Safety
UC Berkeley - Low Match/Safety
Stanford - Reach
Pomona College - Match
Claremont Mckenna College - Match
Dartmouth - Reach
UPenn - Reach
Harvard - Reach
Northwestern - Match
Cornell - Match
Boston College - Low Match

Harvard, Penn, Dartmouth, and Stanford are reaches because none accept more than 18% of their applicants and Harvard and Stanford accept only around 10%. These are really difficult schools to get into, even for kids with your excellent stats.
