I think that your GPA’s too low for the Ivies. The other schools are matches, at least in terms of SAT and GPA. Some higher schools might consider your ECs to be pretty average, but it’s good that you have long-term involvement with things. It’s also pretty hard to gauge what you’re passionate about from what you’ve done (except maybe swimming?), and that’s also something that schools at this level may want to see. I say the Ivies are high reaches and the others are matches to high reaches (IDK much about them). But you definitely want to get some safety schools on that list too.

@Onmyway2013 OP’s GPA is a 3.83 UW, so I wouldn’t say its too low. 3.7 or 3.6 is generally classified as “too low” for ivies.

@neonerudite My bad! I stand corrected. I also forgot that part of that includes enrollment in college courses. Also, that means don’t wait until too late to take your tests, because you may have to take something again, and since you’re taking college courses over the summer and in the fall, you want to have the time and space to do well in those and your tests.

even if your school does not offer many clubs, you need to make an effort to go out of your way to attend some clubs OUTSIDE of your school /

IVies are big reaches sorry to say even with a 2200. However all the other schools you listed i think you will more likely than not be accepted to. Good luck!
