You know your stats are very good. Quite similar to my son’s who is a Pomona soph. I think you need to look at what colleges you might apply to. Your list looks like you want to apply to every highly ranked private school. About all that was missing was Yale. CalTech and MIT are nothing like Pomona. The Claremont school most like those two is Harvey Mudd. I think you should figure out want you are looking for in a college and put your efforts there. If your desire is Med School any of your choices and many others not mentioned would be fine. Just don’t be overly concerned with rankings. Most people here in Northern California think Cal Poly when you say your kid is going to Pomona. So much for the US News list. In the end visit some schools and see what works best for you. Best of Luck
