When you are applying to schools like these, you have to remember that all kids have similar stats. However, your stats seem particularly strong. I can not say whether or not you will be able to get in to any of these schools, but you are definitely a strong candidate for all of them. If I were to give you any advice, it would be to make sure you have a stellar essay for Chicago because they weigh that heavily. Also, show how your personality differs from everyone else.

Just something I want to point out, if you’re applying to EPFL, you need to have an IB diploma; they do not accept AP without without an entrance exam. If you do pass the entrance exam (entirely in French, 50% pass rate), according to their website, you will not be able to enroll until the following year - so I would recommend not applying altogether. I’m not sure about your fluency in French, but you need B2 and C1 is recommended.
