I want to know if there is any shot that I would get accepted into my top ranked universities, such as Boston College, Cornell, UMiami and NYU. (I doubt myself a lot and many people don’t think I have good enough stats for these school.)
I took the following classes (ranged between 92-99 final grades) :
AP Chemistry
AP Biology
AP World History
AP Calculus AB
IB English HL I (AP Lit)
IB English HL II (AP Lang)
I also have a 3.93 unweighted and a bunch of pretty good extracurricular
I took mostly honors / AP with the exception of like 2 regular classes (US History I and Precalculus)

Cornell is a reach for everyone, but I think you are a competitive applicant for BC, UMiami and NYU.
Have you run the NPCs for those schools, and are they affordable? They are all expensive schools, so you should have this discussion with your parents. Seeing as you are premed, you obviously need to plan financially for longer than four years. I would add a few more match schools. You’ve got great stats and could probably qualify for a good amount of merit aid.
If you are premed, then you should run the NPCs, look at the cost of medical school, find out what your budget is, and figure out how far into debt you are likely to be after 8 years at university. You should try if you reasonably can to avoid any debt for undergrad.
If you want to keep open the option of medical school, there is nothing wrong with attending a very good in-state public university where you can avoid debt, and if you work very hard reasonably hope to be in the top 1/4 of your class. Premed classes are going to be very difficult even at universities where you are in the top 1/4 of the incoming students (although whether you would be at Rutgers or TCNJ I don’t know).
