rbabian,
Your numbers are very strong, but your tech background puts you in a very common pool and, more importantly, you don't appear to have strong leadership experiences. Your extracurriculars are decent, but again don't highlight leadership. For that reason, i would consider Columbia (Early Decision), Kellogg, Chicago, MIT, Wharton, NYU, UCLA, and Haas to be longshots. Of those, I think your odds would be best at Chicago, MIT, NYU, and UCLA. You should have no problem at all at USC. Given your goals, consider Virginia, Duke, Michigan, Georgetown, Indiana, and Yale. You could also wait a year and try to beef up the leadership profile, since you're still young. Hope this helps.
