You are a competitive applicant. Your stats and ECs are great. A B+ in AP Physics will not hurt your application, especially if you aren’t planning on majoring in physics. You should consider taking two SAT subject tests and scoring 700s+ on both. Write good essays and you could get accepted to any of these schools
Your stats are fine, but your ECs are pretty standard for most competent Ivy League applicants. You’re a solid applicant, but not a “standout” applicant with your ECs, so unless your essays are godly, you don’t have much of a chance.
I am also nationally ranked in Squash I have talked to the coaches at MIT, Brown, and Penn. They seem pretty interested. I am not good enough for schools like Harvard or Yale. But wouldn’t that help. TBH i’m not too far off of being on the team for Harvard or Yale, but wouldn’t my scores bring the academic index for the sport up. That could help me get into Harvard or Yale right? Also, I am going to talk to the coaches of Columbia, Dartmouth, and Princeton soon.
If they actually want to recruit you, then Brown and Penn will definitely be easier. MIT has specifically stated multiple times that athletes still need to be qualified to go to MIT on their own merit, so I don’t see that helping you there.
The AI at Ivy League schools for sports like squash, tennis, golf are not statistically different from the AI of accepted non-athletic recruits IMO, and no college will recruit an athlete simply to boost its average AI.
