I’m with mwolf on this… jhu, NU, georgetown aren’t close to being ‘shoo-ins’ for this applicant. The best source for OP to categorize schools on their list is Naviance or Scoir, interpreted along with their HS GC, provided their school uses one of those.
I also agree with the relative strength of OSU as compared to many of the reachier schools.
I’m not sure why you brought need-blind vs need aware into the conversation, as it sounds like OP is applying for FA.

Of course my family cannot afford to pay 100% of the cost of college

Many schools could fill their classes several times over with high stats, full pay students…but they choose not to.
