Will I get into a T20 College with bad grades for CS?

Perhaps add UIUC and Purdue to your list as well, although those 2 schools are just as competitive for EECS.

Berkeley and UCLA are going to be reaches for CS just because of the low acceptance rates.

You mention Saratoga in your first post. If you go to one of the Silicon Valley pressure cooker high schools, there may be some grade deflation, but most of the kids will have roughly the same grades/test scores as you or higher.

Finally, this might be nitpicking, but AP Physics A/B have been discontinued. I assume you mean AP Physics 1/2.
