Grades are the top factor admissions offices look at (as a broad generalization) IME. Nothing can really “make up for it” - high test scores just provide a strong part of the broader portfolio.
In a world of 3.9+ applicants and 3.9 admitted student averages, several of the schools you listed (Duke, NYU, T30 in general) will be very tough without other exceptional data points. UNC and MD may be closer to a slight reach, but I’d advise looking for some solid matches and safeties to go with this list.
