I had straight A’s junior year in hard schedule, same 2nd semester sophomore year. I moved to a new state between grades 9 and 10, so my GPA dipped briefly

I know this is probably my weakest area. I didn’t do much once I moved to my new school and it took a while to find some things I enjoyed doing.
Cross Country: 10-12. Varsity each year, and Team Captain this year. State championship all years, and last year I got top 50 in my division.
Track: 10-12 Varsity.
(( I am not good enough to be recruited at any Ivies or D1 schools. ))
Quiz Bowl: Member 11, Team Captain 12. Went to district tournament last year, got 2nd place
Team Engineering/Science Competition: State-wide event, got 2nd in state and 5th in nation for division. Went to national event, got 8th in nation.
80~ volunteering hours, but not at the same place.
Self-taught in piano
NHS, AP Scholar with Honor, impending NMSF
Please be honest about my chances at any of my schools. I know there’s a good chance I’ll be shot down from the higher-tier ones. Thanks!
