The OP has only had 2 B’s in his entire career (the rest A’s). Those aren’t average grades, don’t let the OP’s statements fool you. The OP has around a 3.9 GPA using the transcript posted here.

The OP’s citizenship is in Arizona. As a result, there are great in-state opportunities at U of Arizona and Arizona State, with in-state tuition, plus likely scholarships due to teriffic test scores and grades. Safeties, but good schools with a “name”.

If you are looking for a name, you will get accepted to Michigan. You’ve already said you don’t like it though. Michigan is a big name, with a peer assessment of 4.5.

If you’re looking for names bigger than Michigan that have sports, the only one’s that come to mind are Stanford, Berkeley, and Northwestern, and those athletic programs don’t even compare. Equal to or lesser names include Virginia, UCLA, Wisconsin, and North Carolina, all whom have great sport programs.
