<p>Your AI is around 224, but if your school doesn't rank, Ivies may only put you at 222 or so--great Ecs--that work overseas is impressive as is the varsity team competitions in skiing, soccer, and tennis and the job during the school year. Something like a 211 from top rate prep schools or high schools give you a shot at some Ivy. Dartmouth probably requires a 215 to 218--so you are in decent shape.</p>

<p>My guess is that if you plan to play a sport in college you can get into all but Williams with no problem. Even without a sport you have 40% to 60% chances at these schools if you've been taking the toughest AP/IB or honors courses at your high school (which you say you have).</p>

<p>P.S. Make sure you add a safety to this list, just in case things go poorly.</p>

<p>I agree with Calcruzer, please get some safeties. You don't want to have all rejections in April and have to take an unwanted gap year.</p>

<p>For your colleges, your stats are good. You will need essays for that extra push into Dartmouth IMHO.</p>

<p>I also see a good essay topic in helping the people of third world countries. If you do it well, ADComs will love that stuff.</p>
