Right path for Law School?

I have a 3.3 GPA
2040 on my SAT's
29 on my ACT
I have tons of extracuricculars such as Football, Volleyball, Head of Church Group/Brotherhood, DJ, Community Service, Alter, Know Ukrainian, Russian, English and 2 years of German, Go to a Ukrainian school which will give me 6 college credits, have honors and AP classes.

Im trying to major in pre-law/legal studies/international affairs basically trying to become an international lawyer and go into some diplomatic work, high paying jobs. Im trying to apply to Boston University, La salle, Drexel, Temple, Arcadia, American Catholic University, Georgetown, William and Mary, NYU,Upenn What other schools up from Boston down to DC would be good for me to apply to and have a chance to get in to? Thank You
P.S I live in the Philly Area

You're in high school. don't worry about law school for a l o n g time.

Whatever you do, don't major in "pre-law" or "legal studies" (except at those few colleges which have legit majors in them, none of which are on your list.)

Your high school record will have no impact on where you can go to law school unless you are taking dual enrollment colleges courses. Those may count toward your college gpa for law school admissions purposes.

Diplomatic work isn't "high paying."
