It’s hard to find a weakness in your application, but nothing really stands out. You have a great profile, don’t get me wrong - hard to fault the scores, GPA, or ECs - but if you’re applying to top Ivies your chances are dicey unless you’re Malia Obama or the dean of admissions is a family friend, and national recognition in your academics or an EC, while not essential, will help. You don’t seem to have anything on that level.

If you apply to 6-7 good schools, I can say with near-certainty that you’ll get into at least one.
