Good test scores and GPA. You’re ECs and awards are nothing special, though, things anyone can easily participate in.
I think you will be competitive wherever you apply. Be sure to have matches and safeties on your list that you are happy about it, and not just reaches.
Amazing scores and grades, but for such selective schools you need to have outstanding ECs as well. Even though your ECs are good, in my opinion you should try and start something on your own or get recognised in natonal/international contests or get REALLY involved with research. There are several threads about strong ECS from which you can definitely take ideas, but the most impotant thing is to find something you enjoy doing and feel passionate about and get very involved in it. Good luck with everything! You can chance me back here: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/2090314-chance-me-for-ivy-leages-mit-stanford.html#latest
