Your scores and GPA are competitive and you’ve clearly taken a rigorous course load. Although your applying as a math major, you want all your stem scores to be strong, so I wouldn’t suggest submitting a Chem subject test below 700. Your EC’s aren’t special and they’re a bit scattered, but they hint at your interests and it’s probably ok since you’re a STEM major with a humanities minor. Some National Latin awards is definitely not none.

So all in all, you’re a competitive applicant. You won’t be ruled out based on your numbers or extracurriculars. But your essays and recs will determine whether or not you get in. And none of us can predict further than that.

I really like your game plan. Not many students applying to T50 schools are as willing as you to either go for to their safety if they don’t get into their top choices. Make sure you can afford those T50s though. The top 20 or so give the best aid in the country but soon after, your expected contribution starts to increase a lot without merit scholarships.
