Economics/Business Chances

I'm a junior interested in majoring in economics/business in college.

- My GPA's around 3.8-3.9 unweighted, and about 4.1-4.2 weighted.
- SAT score's are about 1450 (around 2150/2400 on new SAT) and 750-800 for SAT ii's.
- EC's: I have about 4 solid EC's with long-term commitment, a few solid awards (NMS Commended, Honor Roll, Debate Excellence Award), internships with banks, ~500 hours of community service, and there's another EC which I believe is my strong point, explained in the next subpoint.
- Started an organization which helps needy children in my homeland. The organization's helped ~50-100 needy kids with college scholarships, #4, 10, 11 biggest cities in the country helped, 5 colleges and high schools helped. I started the non-profit organization by myself, and many have recognized it. I'm hoping it gains some recognition/award(s) by distinguished institutions. (It takes up about 20-25 hours/week and occassional trips to the country since there's about 10 part-time employees in the organization)
- My personality has been shaped by my father extreme poverty (living in the slums and starving many times), and even my relative's poverty. Each time I see a fellow human suffering without necessities, it hurts more since it's something my family has experienced. That's the main point I'm trying to let colleges know about myself, as I hope I showed through starting the organization.

That being said, I'm interested in which colleges would be reaches/matches/safeties? To give you an idea of where I'm planning to apply: NYU Stern, UPenn, Columbia, Stanford, Yale, UofChicago, UofMichigan,UC Berkeley, USC, Boston College, Georgetown, Boston U...

Thanks for taking the time to read the post, and extra thanks if you can comment!
