You should definitely look a the colleges with good engineering and IR programs, that could help eliminate a few - Chicago as eeyore mentioned, maybe Georgetown, Vanderbilt. If a college like Tufts or JHU or Northwestern or Cornell is a clear number one, you should consider ED there, as they have good engr/IR programs, assuming they’re affordable or course. You could EA Michigan or UMass (in-state flagship) as well. If you’re undecided, then just do a couple EA colleges. It’s tough to chance these days, esp given Covid, I think though that BU and Northeastern should be matches, UMass maybe a safety, the rest reaches. If you hs has Naviance, use that to see how you school does with these colleges.

You also have a lot of non-STEM ECs which could make colleges wonder how much impact you made in all these clubs. Choose just a few where you had the biggest impact and focus on them, hopefully a stem club or two! good luck.
