A good upward trend?

It’s honestly pretty doubtful that you will be admitted to an Ivy or other top 20 type university with that GPA absent some kind of awe-inspiring hook, presuming the unweighted version is quite a bit lower. These colleges don’t really care how your school treats honors or AP grades; they have their own processes for comparing them against others. I agree that it looks like you have a shot at a really great school, but you are going to have to realistically redefine your search criteria to apply to those where you actually have a fighting chance of admission. For example, if you are a California resident, Berkeley might be a realistic reach. Stanford will not. It doesn’t hurt to throw a couple of dream schools on your list and to hope for the best, but it is very unwise to hitch all your hopes and dreams to a “possibility” with a less than 1% chance of becoming reality.
