WOW?! You did amazingly well, good job ! I think you have a good chance of getting into an Ivy League school. You will never know until you try & if you don't you'll regret it. How did you score so high, are you just a genius or something?! I say gooo for it, although your personal statement does play into the overall decision, so work on those writing skills.

I assume that you are taking AP and Honors classes. Based on your rank in class and SAT score, you are qualified to get into any school -- even the most elite.
Based on the grammar and spelling of your question, you aren't even ready for Community College. I'll assume that you can write better when you pay attention.
So -- the good news: you are qualified to go anywhere. The bad news: being qualified isn't good enough.
Stanford only accepts 10% of those who apply. If we assume that half the applicants are qualified (and I think it is actually higher), that means that 80% of qualified applicants are rejected.
You need to make yourself stand out to get in. Extracurriculars are great -- but they are also easy to pad and hard to verify. Therefore, I suspect that less weight is put on them than people think. The admissions essay is going to be critical for you. If you are just an average writer, you may want to get some people to look at your essay and make suggestions.
Good luck.
