Your EC’s are very solid, shouldn’t be a problem.

Are there any regional prizes/awards you received? I think it would be much better to write those than something like “perfect attendance”, which is nice, but not likely to affect adcom’s decisions. try not to write any “class” or “school” awards unless they’re significant (so take out “model student”, “citizenship”, “attendance” at the very least)

You should aim for 2200+ on the SAT to have a good chance at any of those schools. Your grades/SAT’s are all pretty good anyhow.

I don’t know if you would be considered international, you’ll have to check with others about that. If you were an international student needing financial aid, all of the universities you are aiming for would be definite reaches. Berkeley and Stanford would be reaches regardless, and Cornell/UPenn would be pretty close. I don’t know too many universities to recommend though, sorry.
