as long as you do good essays, have good tech recs, add a few more safeties with middle 50% sat score of around 1,900-2050, and keep up with 40-point ib score, you should be doing fine. i really suggest that you consider adding cornell for a somewhat high reach. dartmouth, upenn and u chicago are quite hard, much harder on your list anyways. out of these 3, maybe you can get one, of course with a little bit of luck.

it all really boils down to how you can tie all your stats and figures, ecs, passion, essays, in your application that makes you stand out. all ingridients you have are pretty good. you really should improve your gpas, though. can you just submit your ib score which to me sounds much more impressive than your gpa.
