I have a 95.76 unweighted gpa

Prospective senior year course: AP Calc, College English, College stats, College bio, AP Euro History, Honors economics, College history sem, College Spanish.
That is the most rigorous schedule possible. I am taking every AP and college level class my school offers.
Class Rank: I think I am around 7-10/354. Top 5%
SAT 1: 710 in Critical Reading, 730 in Math, and 610 in Writing. In my PSAT’s my writing score was much higher so I think once I retake I can get it to 700. This was the highest SAT score of any in my grade.
SAT 2: Haven’t taken yet…but I think I will take Math 2, Literature, and Biology (M)
ACT: Haven’t taken and don’t plan to take.
Volunteer work: Around 300 hours. 260-270 came from tutoring and the rest came from mentoring 6th graders. I am also setting up volunteer work at my local hospital.
EC’s with years in parenthesis: Student Council (2), Science Olympiad (2), Mentor to 9th graders (1), Future business leaders of America (2), Varsity golf (4), Varsity lacrosse (2), JV lacrosse (1). I also do tae-kwon-do for 5 years and received my black-belt. I also participated in the People to People Student Ambassador program.
I would like to major in either Biology or Business management. I plan on moving toward either Medical school to be a surgeon or law school to specialize in corporate law.
I am looking at school’s like University of Pennsylvania (pretty high reach, I doubt I will get in but it’s worth a shot) Georgetown (moderate reach, my SAT scores and GPA are average and I don’t know if my EC’s are good enough), and New York University (slight reach, but I think I will get in).
Pittsburgh is the college I feel I have a really good shot in. I just wanted to see if others view the same way. I would like to also be admitted into the honors program.
Also I don’t really know if this makes a difference but I am a white male from a low income family and I will be the first person in my family going to college. In fact pretty much my entire family worked in the same factory so I plan on writing about that on my essay.
Thanks for any responses guys.
