| Potential Valedictorian at a Mediocre School, CHANCE ME

SAT2's: Physics, Biology M, Math 2, US History, Chinese all 800s

EC (this is really just my top 5, I do a few more):
1) Co-founder and 3 year president of Science Club (basically runs the USABO, and other Olympiads, as well as local competitions)
2) JV Tennis freshmen year, Varsity Tennis other 3 years
3) Piano for 11 years
4) Robotics electrical team lead (2.5 years)
5) Science department TA for 2 years(technically not "work" but at my school, there is so much to do that I spend 2+ hours a day 5 days a week grading/setting up labs that it is essentially the same thing)
Awards:
3 year AIME qualifier, 1 year USAMO qualifier (I won't go into details, but I WOULD have qualified, but a technical mistake with my scoring made me unable to receive a AIME score in time for the test)
1st place at a regional engineering competition
Other small local competitions in math and science, mediocre placing (ex: 6th place or so)
Volunteering:
60ish hours at a local soup kitchen
50ish hours through volunteering clubs at school
My dream schools: MIT (applied EA), Caltech (EA), Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth, (really any Ivy)
Other schools that I'm not sure how to rank: UC Berkeley, UCLA, Carnegie Mellon, John Hopkins
I'd really appreciate it if you could chance me. I'm stressing out so much! I'll try to chance you back if you give a link but just as a upfront warning, I have very little experience (I immigrated to America 6 years ago and have no siblings or close friends who have gone to prestigious schools)
