Schools You're Currently Looking At: What other schools are you thinking of applying to? Skip if none.
Most of the schools are reaches for me
University of Washington
USC
UC system
Purdue
UIUC
UW Madison
Texas AM
UT Austin
Originally looked at T20s but after speaking to my school counsellor I am still debating on whether I should apply

Additional:
I'm not really looking at any safety schools as I view community college as my safety so yea.

Lastly UW is currently my top choice as they have a solid engineering program plus I have family which means I can save rent and i do really like the campus. (Also quite confident I can get Washington citizen second year)

Hm, I'll say that the UW really takes a close, close look at your extracurricular activities and essays. If you want to shoot for something like the UW, then consider spending several weeks having your essays written, reviewed, and edited. Remember, the UW does not take the Personal Statement and has an early deadline of Nov 15.

You have fairly decent stats, so it just comes down to the ECs and the essays.

Case Western, University of Rochester, Northeastern, Boston University, Olin College of Engineering (computer or CS only).

A lot of top 20s admit based on both personalities and stats, I think you have the minimum stats to apply so you'll have to shoot your shot to see which school connects with you but you wouldn't know unless you try.
