I am a junior in highschool. At the end of sophomore year, my GPA was a 3.7. I took two honors classes that year. This year, I am taking all honors classes (Chemistry Honors, English III Honors, Spanish IV Honors, U.S. History Honors, Algebra II Honors). I am also going to be doing two clubs at school, as well as a lot of volunteer work. Based upon this information, what colleges do you think I have a chance of getting into (providing that this year my grades are all A's and B's)? I am looking to apply to Lehigh. Do you think I have a chance of getting into an Ivy League school or Lehigh? What school do you think I have a chance of getting into?

I'd guess that Lehigh looks good. If you do really well in your Junior year and have high SAT scores, then the Ivy League is a possibility.
Princeton Review's web site has a tool that will guide you towards schools that would be a good fit.

Ivy League might be a little tough, but then again Ivy League's tough for everyone. You could probably et to lehigh with a great sat score and a good essay..you'd also probably have a good chance of getting into whatever college your parents went to.

If you can, try to step it up a notch by taking some AP (Advanced Placement) classes. Its pretty cool though, its like a college class you get credits for high school and if you pass the test a t the end of the year you also get college credits. A lot of colleges like to see the classes that you have taken that have challenged you. I've taken so many freakin Pre-Ap classes too and now i'm rounding out my senior year with a few AP classes

By no means do I want to come off as a jerk, but...
In all honesty, to hell with Ivy League schools. What really matters is what *you* want to do with your life. There are schools far better than Ivy Leagues that specialize in certain areas with their degree programs.
Before you ask yourself where you can go, ask yourself what you want to do with your life.
