No glaring weaknesses, very strong curriculum, and varied and interestingn ECs. The only thing missing that I see is research experience which the MIT’s and Stanfords of the world like for sciences and CS folks. Also, I am assuming you did not use an ED or SCEA at any of these schools.

My guesses: MSU and UM (assuming in state) = safeties; if not UM OOS is a match; Rice and Northwestern (50/50), Brown slightly lower than 50/50 but I suspect Brown will like your varied list of achievements and interest in the sciences and so I think you have a sold shot there even RD. Princeton and MIT - reaches (less than 20%) due to lack of a wow factor that makes you stand out from the rest of their strong applicant pool.
