I’m just going to throw my two cents in on this conversation:
Your ACT and class rank definitely place you in a good region objectively with these schools. Also, your EC’s are definitely fine and dandy. I feel like if you were to apply to any of those suggested (VCU, W&M, UVA, JMU, Richmond, UNC), you will almost definitely be in the clear. With your higher ones, they are pretty holistic, so keep that in mind. You have an iffy chance at UCB, as they are pretty selective, out-of-state (w/ in-state bias), will definitely cost more (OOS tuition), and is not nearly as big a bang for the buck as the ones near you. UNC (great school) may cost more as well, but I’d run an NPC; they appear to be pretty giving with assistance.
You said to give you suggestions. The things the others have mentioned are all pretty good. I might throw in GMU; I hear good things about them. UCB came out of nowhere, so I’m sure we could recommend more if you could tell us why you picked that one out in particular.
Things to note: How are your parents’ finances? If you’re low-income, Richmond, W&M, and UVA will probably be great in terms of affordability. If that is a concern, try out the NPCs.
Another thing I wanted to kind of throw in (you said your interests and major were undecided) is that you cannot declare a major at UR until your Sophomore year, and they are pretty well-rounded in what they do:

On the essay, you might write about overcoming depression, potentially showing off your newfound interests and hobbies that both helped you and opened up your mind to new ideas. Be sure to downplay (or even omit) what your mild condition has driven you away from; that is not a thing you want admission officers to know that. Also, it has to be pretty neat, engaging, and original. Try to find something insightful, cheerful, and metamorphic that you would enjoy writing about, and make sure it reads like a short story instead of a 5-paragraph essay.
Best of luck, and hope everything turns out great!
