Oh no... not another one! Opinions wanted!

So I'm a rising Junior and I really have my heart set on goin to Penn... but I've just decided this in the past few weeks now. Unfortunately I can't go back and involve myself in ec's and imporove my grades so I'm afraid that it's too late and I won't have any chances of getting in. Currently my GPA is 3.52 due to a horrible Freshmen year ( 3.14 1st semester and 3.28 second semester [I was still wayyy upset from moving and trying to get over it]) but my sophomore year was much better ( 3.83 both semesters ). So far I havnt been involved in any ec's excpet marching band! This summer I'm volunteering at the Hospital and hopefully join a few clubs this year that interest me. My schedule for this upcoming year is:

AP English
AP Calc AB
AP Us History
Ap Chemistry
Ap Music theory
Spanish
Symphonic Band (highest band class)

Senior Year I plan to be in:

Ap English
Ap Calc BC
Ap Government/ Economics (half semester for each)
Ap Biology
Ap Physics
Spanish
Symphonic band

Hopeful Accomplishments by Graduation:

National Honor Society
Key Club
Rosseta Society (Special Learning experinces outside the classroom)
Science club
Marching band Lieutenant
Hospital volunteer

I want to apply for CAS and major in biochemistry and continue on to Med school to become a pharmacologist to do medical research.
