Most crucial factor even before standardized test scores is your GPA. Your GPA is on the low side. I understand your school is very competitive but nonetheless colleges look at this the most. All other aspects of your application including your standardized test scores seem amazing especially since you consistently score high on the SAT and subject test. I didn’t see any mention of AP courses did you take them and that you get foor or fives on the exams? Volunteering in other EC’s are also good

That being said and always knowing that the Ivy League’s are low reaches for even the best candidates:

JHU is a low reach
Cornell is a low reach if u apply Ed.
UPenn is a reach (maybe a low reach if u apply ED)
The problem is, I don’t know how accurate your statement is regain the blue ribbon school (I am not saying u are wrong, I just don’t know!)
I cannot stress enough the importance of GPA over all else!
