Clearly you are an accomplished student with excellent academics and ECs. Nevertheless, no one can tell you where you should apply based on a list of ECs and your stats. You should do some independent research on each of these schools and determine if they are a good fit for you including providing the right amount of financial aid that you require. If you are an International Student, I know that it will be very expensive to attend UCLA or NYU since they are not very liberal with doling out grants to international students. Unfortunately, high SAT and ACT test scores still matter for most top colleges, especially Int'l students who are not enrolled in the AP or IB curricula. Good luck.

You don't know if you don't apply. Consider applying Early Decision to either Duke, UChicago or UPenn (keep in mind that UPenn doesn't offer a lot of aid to international students). If you want a good bet, I'd say apply to Dartmouth Early Decision. The admit rate is like 21%+ which is a big deal compared to the 5% Regular Decision rate. Dartmouth has a lot of money set aside for international students.
