I don't think you'll get in anywhere if you can't spell "currently".

It will come down to your SAT score, more or less. That's sad, but somewhat of a reality these days because lots of young people have superior GPAs and lots of extracurricular activities.
Another big factor will be the size of your high school class. Being the best student out of 50 people is one thing, while being the best student out of 400 is another.
Some of these things you can't help. You just have to do the best you can do and let the rest take care of itself. You'll have excellent options as long as you continue to achieve at a high level.

Congratulations! I went to the University of California, Davis (Class of 2003). Significant memories were opening my eyes to connections between the various disciplines I was studying. As you progress through your general education requirements (i.e., lower division courses outside your major area of study), you'll probably notice some commonalities, similar veins of thought, and one constant that I'll never forget: everything you study entails a study of history, be it generally or the specific history of the subject at hand. The more you can appreciate how your major fits into the larger picture of human history, the more fulfilling and enriching your college experience will be. Have a great time, and best of luck to you!

You need to find a college that suits your academic and social goals. Once you have narrowed your list down, look at their requirements for GPA, extracurriculars, ect. to see how your own achievements fit in. Once you start applying (during your senior year) apply to a "dream" school, two target schoos, and a "safety" school just in case. But based on your stats, you should have no problem getting into a school you love! Good luck!

You can have those stats and better and never get into Stanford. You can have a 3.5 and possibly just maybe get into Berkley or better. You are not a statistic, and if you're paying a college tens of thousands of dollars a year, they know that too. So, it will depend on what you want to take out of college, which as a sophmore, I doubt you know, and how well your essays, SAT scores, and interviews go.
College isn't about numbers; its deciding about how you're going to begin the rest of your life. Degrading it to GPA's and honor roll bragging rights makes both the college you're applying to and you as a student member of the community meaningless.

Getting into a college isn't the problem here.
The problem is finding a college where you "fit in." That means you like being there, and you have people around you that will become your friends. That means that the classes are what you want to take, and the degree will be sufficient to take you to that next step.
I turned down Northwestern and Purdue 'cause I just didn't fit there, and went instead to Wabash because I fit in there and I liked the quality of their graduates.
So, yeah, you probably can get into a big-name college. Get your ego pumped and see if one or more will accept you. Then get real, and figure out where you're supposed to be.

Work on your SATs and you can get in virtually anywhere. Remember, a lot also hangs on your personal statement and you should do all you can to have both of these aspects as impressive.
All the best.

4.0 HS GPA is not that good...you need to score high on your SAT.
