You’re light on ECs but with your stats and hooks, you should be in good shape.

@grandscheme My parents are in a very high income bracket, will this hurt my chances in any way?

4

Why would you possibly even think that?

5

Quite the contrary. Schools like kids who can pay their way.

@dowzerw All the schools OP mentioned are need-blind (at least for domestic applicants; not sure about international for some of them). Poor or rich, OP will be considered the same way.

I don’t know how truly need blind any school can be. At the end of the day, they have to be able to make the numbers work. They need to be able to pay the professors, after all.
