And I'm trying to start a charity club at my school sometime this year.
Volunteering: Nature Center (farm, children's crafts, etc...) and Hospital
so, where do you think I can get into?

The only colleges you may have a hard time getting into are the Ivy League colleges. Other than that, you shouldn't have a problem at all! Good luck!

You are on the right track for all of those schools. In fact, if you could get 2150 or better on your SATs, I'd even say that you can do better.
Being qualified isn't enough. At the very top schools, only 8%-10% get in -- meaning that only about 15% of qualified students get in. You need to make yourself stand out. Taking AP classes is one way -- but lots of applicants at these schools do that. Extracurriculars are another way -- but lots of students do those -- plus your level of activity is not verifyable, so I can't imagine that will be a determining factor. What will really set you apart is the quality of your admissions essay.
Someone else said something about money. Most students at the top schools get financial aid. WHile the tuition at Harvard may be two or three times the tuition at a good state university -- the average tuition actually paid (after aid) is actually about the same.

Anywhere where you have enough money to pay the tuition I would say.
