The answer to this question is yes. If you stick with it this year and don't screw around this last year, then yes, you will easily be able to get into an Ivy league school, or any school in the country for that matter. This is only if your gpa is rated on a 4.0 scale, and not a 4.5 scale. Also, keep it up with the community service because colleges love a well-rounded student. Good luck, i think you have a really good chance.

I would have to say probably not. I've seen kids with your same curriculm not get into berkeley or stanford. your ap classes is deficient compared to most ivy league students (already having a semesters worth, 5 to 6 ap classes, of college done.) And are you a MEMBER of the clubs or an OFFICER of the clubs? That'll make a huge difference. Your gpa is also low for ivy league admissions. They usually recruit between a 4.2 and a 4.5. You will also need to take the SAT and score at a minimum of 1400 to be competitive, if you get a 1450-1500 you could become a candidate for lower schools like Brown, Dartmouth, and Cornell (maybe even Columbia). and a 1550-1600 will definitely put you in range of princeton, yale, and harvard.

High school was nearly 20 years ago, but at that time Ivy League also required a good SAT score (do people still take that test?)
Good luck!!!

Yes and try not to stress yourself out too much. Ask for free literature from the colleges you want to attend. They should send it to your home.
You can also ask if the colleges you are interested in offer free tours to high school students. This way you can get a better "feel" of the school.

Ace your boards and have an intangible that's not on that list and you've got a very good shot. Being multi-lingual wouldn't hurt either.
