I am a rising senior and I was wondering what kind of shot I have at getting into some Ivy’s. Some facts about me are:
caucasian
single family home $80K income
33 ACT
29 English (Should I retake to raise?)
34 Math
31 Reading
36 Science
4.0 unweighted GPA (School does not do weighted)
Public high school in top 100 in country
School does not do class %
Have or will have taken 7 AP classes and 9 AP tests
have taken 4 other college level classes
Have taken all honors classes if offered
250+ hours of community service
Varsity football (includes lift 3 times a week and practice once a week in off season)
Varsity club, engineering club, junior statesmen of america, and national honors society
worked summer of junior and senior year

My top ivy choices would be harvard, brown, and upenn. I would want to study math and/or international relations. First of all what are my chances of any of these schools? How about other ivy’s (exept Cornell, great school but too close to home)? What else should I be doing to help my chances?
Thanks
