Sorry, I forgot to add my weakness: I will only have two laboratory sciences (honors bio and chemistry), and one non-lab science (semester of astronomy and semester of geology in "Earth Science")

Good chance at all of those schools although your courseload looks a little weak. does your school not offer a lot of Honors/ APs or you just didnt bother to take them?

School offers app. 9 "real" AP/Honors class, and then there are about 20 awful online ones that are poorly taught, and overall, hellacious; I will also take classes at local university senior year
