*neurofibromatosis. Also, I served on a lifechanging medical mission trip to the Dominican Republic. Not sure if that would benefit me, but it was a meaningful experience. I also plan to take the SAT II Math I again, Math II, and Biology (molecular)

If you EDed to one of these places, you’d probably for sure get in except for maybe Princeton because it’s the top of the Ivy League. RD you’d probably randomly get into 1-2 of these schools based on essays and etc. try to maintain that 4.0 uw as best as possible to not show a downward trend. I know mostly about NU, and I can tell normally they like a lot of community service with diverse ECs like music and a sport so that works in your favor. The only thing I wouldn’t summit is SAT II scores because your academics are so good that they can only hurt you. What do you plan to major in? It can make a big difference in admittance for some of these schools. Also while all of these schools have top academics their atmospheres can be fairly different which might affect which would be your top choice.

I’m planning to double major with spanish (since I’ve taken 12 years) and biology/biomedical science @Heisenbergyk

Ok you’d probably be mainly be applying to like an arts and science college within each university, which is usually isn’t that bad as something like engineering. I know for NU the odds for the arts and science school Weinberg aren’t that bad. The other three I don’t know, but unless the schools with your major are like the most prestigious program within the school it won’t be any harder than the general acceptance rates for each school.

Hopkins is roughly a match, the others are reaches (as they are for most everyone). But not a reason not to apply. These super-selective schools have to admit someone. It could be you.
