Any Chance for Ivies?

Do I have any chance of being accepted? I'm from California, white/mexican, top 10% of my class. I'm thinking of going pre-med.

Spanish 3 (B/B)
Pre-IB English I (B/B)
Pre-IB World History (A/A)
Geometry (A/A)
Track (A)

Sophomore:
AP Art History (A/A) (4 on exam)
Spanish IV (A/A)
Chemistry (B/A)
Pre-IB Alg2/Trig (A/A)
Pre-IB English 2 (A/A)

Junior:
Honors Anatomy/Physiology (A/A)
AP/IB Spanish Language (B/B) (3 on exam)
AP/IB English Lang/Comp (B/A) (4 on exam)
Honors Pre Calc (B/B)
AP US (A/A) (4 on exam)

Community College:

Senior Year:
AP/IB Biology
AP/IB Spanish Literature
IB English Literature
AP/IB Calculus AB

Weighted GPA (10-12) 4.3

SAT- 1850 plan to retake
ACT- 28 (Plan to retake and be tutored)
SAT II- US: 710 Spanish: 610 Math 2: 660

will these schools view SAT and ACT equally? Because I think I can do much better on the ACT.

Chances not looking so good.

And yes, SAT and ACT are looked at equally (supposedly).
