You haven't taken the ACT or SAT's, which are crucial in determining your competitiveness, as to how you do on the AP tests for these classes you're taking. Also, has anyone else from your high school gone to these schools? If so, that makes it easier for you, because they recognize your school and program. To get into these schools, you either have to have amazing connections, or be a completely amazing person. Hold positions of leadership and do alot in the extracurriculars you're in, and write amazing college essays. You're still so young in high school, and I know I completely changed my mind as to what schools I wanted to go to by the end of my junior year. You have to offer something that no one else can in order to be competitive for these upper tier schools, and might I say there are some equally good small liberal arts colleges that you would be extremely competive for, and they would have more of a focus on undergraduate, and less on research.

sure. except that you're a sophomore, so it's impossible to really tell.
make sure that while taking all these AP classes that you actually learn something interesting. straight A's are nice, but they're worthless if they don't make you genuinely curious and interesting. be sure to read interesting books outside of school, have engaging conversations with smart people, and actually contemplate real problems.
i don't even know if you need all those courses. don't overload yourself; remember to have fun. there are plenty of people who could go to harvard, yale, or chicago and just do work and get degrees and make money. try to be better, more fascinating than them.
you've certainly got potential. do something cool with it.

Shoot for the celebs, you not in any respect understand!

You are off to a great start, but it is still very early, and thus hard to tell how you will do.
