Chance me maybe?

I am an Asian Indian citizen of the US, unsure of what I would like to major in as of right now.

Chance me for UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, Stanford, Duke, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, UPENN, and WashU.

SAT Subject Tests: Physics--> 790(Plan to take Math II and Bio by end of junior year and possibly English)

SAT 1: 2300 (740 CR 770 Math 790 Writing)

AP Test scores: Calculus AB(5), Physics B(5), Environmental Science (4), European History(5)
*will take 5 more AP exams by end of junior year*

Class Rank: Top 10% at least, don't know specifics

GPA Unweighted: 3.9 (as of now)
GPA Weighted: 4.2 (as of now)

Current courseload (junior year): AP Biology, AP Physics C, AP Calculus BC, AP US history, Honors American Lit

Extracurriculars (as they should be by the time of submitting college apps):
Freshman year JV Tennis Team Captain, moved up to Varsity by end of year and won CIF (California Interscholastic Federation) Division 2.
Junior and Senior years: Varsity Tennis (potentially CIF Champs again)
Science Olympiad all 4 years (Varsity team and went to state)
CSF (California Scholarship Federation)
NHS (National Honor Society)
Engineering Club (Secretary 1 year, Vice President 2 years)
Chess Club (Tournament Secretary for 1 year)
Academic League (Junior Varsity 1 year, Varsity 1 year)

Internships/Summer Seminars:
Probably will go to some summer camp this year the summer before senior year like UCSD Cosmos.
Will try for prestigious ones like Stanford EPGY, TASP, RSI, SSP, etc.

Volunteering (as they should be by the time of submitting college apps):
Pomerado Hospital volunteering: 60+ hours
Palomar Hospital volunteering through CCE (Clinical Career Extenders): 150+ hours

Awards (as they may be by time of submitting college apps):
National Merit Scholar
A few here and there Science Olympiad regional and state awards.
CIF champs for Tennis

I don't know that much about the college admissions and my chances to the above listed schools so if you guys could list more schools that would probably fit my caliber of academic standings with a chance next to it that would be great and provide a basis for me to research.

Thanks,
CurryCow

You've got yourself really set up, especially since you're only a junior! I'd say you have a good chance at all those schools. If not, at least most! Sorry I couldn't be too much of assistance!

If you're a junior keep it up cause you're a good shot at every single school you apply too including HYPS just make sure you get good rec's and write good essays and you are set man. Good work.

As a junior, that is incredible. If you continue this good trend, UCB, UCLA, UCSD, and WashU are matches. You should get in. Cornell and Brown are reachables ivies so I'd call those low reaches. Stanford, Columbia, Dartmouth, and UPenn (especially if Whorton) are reaches. If you could add more passion or uniqueness to your ECs, I think you're likely to get into some of your reaches for sure. Goodluck!

All the UC's, Duke, Cornell, and WashU are target for you.

I feel that you are missing a leadership position or a more significant EC for the other schools. They are reach.

You have set yourself up pretty well. I can't even tell you what to improve for better chances at those schools. The higher-end ivies are reaches for practically everyone, but you are definitely on target for everything else.

Where would you apply if you were me?
