It’s the end of my junior year and I’m starting to look at colleges. I wish to know if I can attend my dream colleges or if I should just stick to a local school.
Here are my courses, including next year’s schedule:

Freshman:
Honors Biology
Honors English
Algebra I
World History
Spanish II
Physical Education/Health
Study Hall

Sophmore:
Speech
Honors English
Chemistry
Algebra II
Honors Spanish III
Child Development
Advanced Jewelry

Junior:
AP English
Geometry
AP US History
Advanced Jewelry
Anatomy and Physiology
Dual-Credit Spanish IV
Dual-Credit Principles of Biomedical Sciences

Senior:
US Government and Econ
AP English
Dual-Credit Medical Interventions
AP Studio Art
Study Hall
Dual-Credit Pre-Calculus
AP/Dual-Credit Spanish V
AP Psychology

On a 4.0 scale, I have a GPA of 3.95. I haven’t taken the SAT or ACT yet, but I am taking the ACT this weekend.
My community service and volunteer work includes:
80 hours for the IU Health program
20 hours at food pantries, misc. events
Next year will add another twenty hours.

This summer, I will be partaking in a paid internship/research program at a medical lab.
I belong to National Art Honor Society and NHS.

I’m not sure if I’m really qualified or not. I’m very worried about this and I’d love some outside opinion.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond!
