They will look at you, given your strong SAT. It would be better if you could squeak that GPA above 3.7, though. I’d say you still have a reasonable shot at the Ivies with higher acceptance rates (Cornell, Dartmouth for example). My kid with a 3.75 and 2380 superscored SAT got in everyplace she applied, including UChicago, Swarthmore, Harvey Mudd, Carleton, and a bunch of other schools with good merit aid. She honestly didn’t think any of the Ivies were a fit for her except maybe Columbia, but she hates NYC… You probably have some very good choices, but the tippy top colleges do expect slightly higher grades. However… any student who wants to know their chances at “The Ivies” isn’t looking very hard at fit for their colleges, that is just chasing prestige. No student would be happy at any Ivy, as they vary quite a bit. Get a copy of the Fiske Guide to Colleges and build a list of matches, safeties, and a few reaches. You can certainly have Ivies or Stanford as those reaches. But broaden your search focus.
