Hmm. If your school is a prep/known top feeder school, I don’t know how badly the GPA will ding you. Your SAT is perfect, really, 2300+ is the sweet spot. The difference between your GPA and 2300 makes it harder to predict safety/match, so here’s a conservative estimate:

Tufts low reach/high match
Vanderbilt low reach
Johns Hopkins reach
Cornell reach
Upenn reach
McGill rather fickle 'cuz of your GPA, put it as a low reach
U of Rochester match
Wustl reach
Ucb low reach (would you be full pay OOS?)
Bu match
Bc match
Umass Amherst low match/safety
University of virginia high match/low reach
Gwu match

Your volunteer work and ECs especially might be the deciding factor–they show a lot of good leadership qualities. Good luck in the ol’ College crapshoot!
