If you go to the SAT Prep part of the board, you’ll find some useful guides. Follow them and practice and your score can go way higher. An upward GPA trend is always a big plus.

As for admissions, you should want to excel because you are the type of person who excels at whatever he/she does. If you work hard and do great and get into one of those schools, then congrats. If not, you can be proud of a great body of work in high school and build off that in whatever you do afterwards.
