What state do you live in? That is a factor for public-institutions. Everything looks great! SAT score is good (I'd say don't take it again...but to each his/her own), your GPA and course load is solid, you seem to love volunteering, and youre extra curriculars look solid. Furthermore, not asking for financial aid is a plus.

USC- match
Cornell- low reach
UC Berkeley- match
Boston College
Columbia- reach
Wake Forest- in
Duke- reach
Georgetown- reach, but I think you'll get in.
American University- in, with some kind of scholarship.
Northwestern- reach
Vanderbilt- match
WashU- low reach

*Sigh* I told myself I'd never come here again. Am I being a realist?
