Harvard/Columbia/U Penn/Cornell/U Chicago- Reach (they are reaches for everyone)
NYU- Match for Stern, Low Match for CAS
Johns Hopkins- Match
U Mich- Match

Where is your home state?
UMich Ross pre-admission is always a reach due to the low admission rate. But you may get into LSA first and apply for Ross as sophomore through their regular admission pathway. For UMich LSA, it should be a high match for you if from OOS. It would be a low match for in state. The OOS admission rate is around 20% this year.
