26 on the ACT is pretty mediocre. My university gives scholarships to anyone who scores over 32. A lot depends on the reputation of your high school and what courses you took there. Extracurriculars are greatly over- exaggerated by high school counselors. It's a very arbitrary process- some state schools give priority to students who are residents of that state, for example, and we don't know where you live. Some states may be looking to increase the geographical diversity of their students- that's why my daughter got almost a free ride from a school in another state. Some very prestigious schools accepted her, while other, less prestigious schools turned her down. My point is that you shouldn't take it personally. Go to the school that wants you and that makes you the best financial aid offer.

I think you have a good chance at CMU and UMass - obviously. I also think you have a good chance at IU.
I think you have a slim chance at RPI.
I think you have virtually no chance at Cornell, Wellesley, or Vanderbilt. Your GPA and ACT are well below the averages of accepted students to these schools, and I don't think you have the extracurriculars to really make up for that and make yourself stand out against other applicants to those schools.

With all that you've already accomplished, you should be accepted at all of them.
