You have a long way to get a score in SAT within range for most, if not all, of these schools.

Blog is interesting, other ECs are not exceptional. Travel to 20 countries makes you look wealthy and entitled which is not helpful. Top 2 percent of class might put you in stanford territory. Take the ACT and the SAT and see how you do. Your PSAT would predict a 1650 SAT which is very far from what you need for a selective college. 2000 bare minimum, 2200 to be comfortable

fsu-safety
uf-safety
stanford-high reach
vassar-low reach/high match
wake forest-target
cornell-reach
vanderbilt-reach
ucla-low reach
uva and unc-match(in state) high match(out of state)

i got a 194 on the psat sophomore year and it went up 20 points without studying the next year to a 214 so don’t stress too much about scores but definitely start studying for the sat/act this summer with a 165.
