Do I have ANY chance at a top college?

<p>Hi,
I'm a sophomore, so this may seem a little early -- but I am really anxious about my college prospects!</p>

<p>Here's a rundown of the stuff I have so far:
*I will be taking the SAT this coming weekend</p>

<p>Freshmen:
GPA: 3.86, 4.00 weighted
A's in Bio, English, PE, Business, Art, Spanish 2 but B's both semester in Pre-Calc H</p>

<p>ECs (I have very few)
-Cross Country (which I have quit this year)
-Debate
-Teen Library Council
-Volunteering ~50 hours (Autism Center, Retirement Center, California Scholarship Federation, TLC hours also included)
-Spanish Honors Society (which I guess also falls in Volunteering)</p>

<p>As you can see, I have very few extracurricular and 0 leadership positions, a bad GPA (my grades currently are even worse but since the semester hasn't ended yet...). However, my high school is a very competitive Californian school. </p>

<p>I am into writing, and less math and science-inclined (even though I am Asian), so would applying for a less-STEM major increase my chances at a top school?</p>

<p>My family income is above 250,000, will that also affect my chances?</p>

<p>Obviously, I know it is probably difficult to assess my circumstance as I have not taken many of the standardized tests, but is what could potentially be my 1)safety 2)target and 3) reach schools? I obviously won't make it to any Ivies, but is there any chance of me getting somewhere like Duke, UMich, Northwestern, Tufts, Boston College, or a top liberal arts school?</p>

<p>I am very worried right now so please help! </p>

<p>Nobody can begin to evaluate your chances at this stage. Everything can change in the next two years, and they are the most critical in your high school career. Check back in with us when you have some junior grades, test scores, and a sense of what leadership positions you expect to hold.</p>
