Yes, very strong, I would say you have a strong chance at any college you apply to, except Princeton, which discriminates against Asians, and Harvard, which you can never be sure about.

Judging by your choices of colleges (Tepper, NYU Stern, Wharton…) I suppose you want a career in business/consulting/investment banking.

I think getting a business degree as an undergrad is the healthiest thing, unless business is REALLY your life’s calling. If that is really what you want (how much do you know about that kind of career) I would really recommend UChicago, which has the strongest undergrad curriculum in the nation. A good Econ (+ something) degree from UChicago will get you in any investment bank or consultancy, or even private equity firm, and will be an outstanding foundation for a top MBA.
