Chances at top schools other than HPY

I am a white male from New Jersey applying to Stanford, Brown, Dartmouth, Columbia, JHU, Tufts (dad's an alumni), Duke, and BC. If you guys could chance me on these schools that would be awesome; here are my stats:

SAT: CR: 670 M: 730 W: 670 essay: 12 [1400/1600...2070/2400]
SAT II: Math Level 2: 800 Chemistry: 800 Molecular Bio: 770
Rank: 4 out of ~250 (private catholic school)
GPA: 102.4 (we don't have the 4 point scale)

My school does block scheduling so i only have four periods by by the time I am done with high school i will have 7 AP classes.

AP Scores (from Last Year): Bio-5 US History-5
Will Take- Eng Lit, Calc BC, Physics AP-C, Chem

In addition to the AP classes I have 10 college credits from my local community college (soph. summer year classes) which include: Intro to Philosophy, Intro to Ethics, and Calculus I. (The Philosophy professor is going to provide me with a strong rec letter)

EC's/ Clubs: Varsity Ice Hockey 4 years, Roller Hockey, NHS, President of History Club, Chess Club, Math League, Science League, over 500 hours (since freshamn year) of community service which includes assistant coach of a youth Roller Hockey Team, Big Bro. Big Sis., Habitat For Humanity, local EMS and many others.

I am looking to become a doctor, majoring in molecular bio, or biomedical engineering. I took 110 hours of classes to become a licensed and trained Emergency Medical Technician (I now volunteer weekly at my town squad), and I shadowed a radiologist for 50 hours. Hopefully the colleges see drive in this...

Another thing which does not fit into any specific category is that I helped my aunt and cousins create a board game called "On the Road to the White House" which is now in five presidential libraries. The company is called the Missing Piece Inc. and I am the Vice President of it so I have written letters to companies like Hasbro about trying to market the game.

Other than various school awards thats it...How do i look for these colleges?

The EMT thing is fantastic I think you're going to stand out, I bet you get some nice admittances. Your SAT is a little on the low side, but everything else balances that out. Good luck!

Stanford: Super Reach
Brown, Dartmouth, Columbia: Reach/ Super Reach
JHU: Slight Reach/ Reach
Tufts (dad's an alumni): High Match
Duke: Reach
BC: High Match/ Match

If you can increase the SAT 100 points it will help significantly. Its your achilles heel right now.

Well the thing is between school, apps, ice hockey, and EMS i would have no time to review anything and would probably just do worse.

I agree with slipper. Your ECs are absolutely fantastic. Try anything you can to raise those SATs. You'd have a very nice chance at getting in at all your schools.
