You're on the right track. Impressive GPA, extracurriculars, community minded--all good. Prepare well and do well on SAT and ACT and maybe get in some more leadership kinds of activities and you should be fine for just about any university to which you apply.

villanova will be no problem, though what is your GPA out of?. if it's out of 5, then your a little low. i'm just gonna assume that on an unweighted 4.0 scale, you have a 4.0. in that case ivies are a crapshoot. it's a sad reality no matter how good you are. chances are, if u apply to 10 places, you'll get into 2 or 3 of them. i got into none (had an awesome gpa, but no extra-curriculars). of course, the college essay is sooo important these days, unfortunately the SAT are too, despite what people may say. anyway, i would highly recommend McGill University as a serious contender. No. 1 in Canada, top-class education, not so hard to get into, and a better social life than any of the other places you mentioned..

Girls are applying at a rate almost double of males. This means that often their standards must be set higher than the male counterpart. Often girls can be rejected even though they may be more qualified to keep diversity. I suggest continue on the path you have, but also leadership is HUGELY important. Class president, head of blah blah blah organization etc. Show you are determined. Also diversity is key cheerleader and maybe math team, or maybe band. Bring something to the table they can't say no to. You can do it just be driven, that is what it takes.

You'll have to improve your punctuation and spelling first.
Do you go to church? Are you well known as a person of good character in your school and in your town? Do you think you're an interesting person? Could you be a role model to younger students?
If you can answer these questions positively and keep your grades up, sure.

Honestly getting into undergrad isn't as tough as everyone makes it seem--if your passing high school your probably in--schools are so desparate for money (budget cuts and all) they'll accept anyone!

I'm sorry I thought the highest GPA you could have is 4.0. So I don't know
