<p>I can’t really tell you your chances yet but I think you’re on the right road. Junior year is a really important year and I think if you keep it up you have a good chance. One thing make sure you do good on your sats. The colleges you want to apply to want to see high sat scores (the higher the better ~2300-2400 if you can will really help you!). Your academic rigor looks good and make sure you especially take challenging courses senior year too! Try to get more leadership positions and find something you really excel at and I think you have a shot. But keep in mind they are all reach schools and will be hard to get into. Keep trying and always try to add more!
