I condensed for the benefit of others.

"I completed an internship as part of the Product Development team at at a company where they prototyped my idea.

My final High School GPA came out to 3.5 due to my lack of interest before Junior year (B average first two years). My I managed to get a 32 on my ACTs and have awesome references. For example, my English teacher who I spent MANY hours with along with the optional recommendation from the CEO of this company.

I want to apply to 5 Ivy Leagues (Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, and Brown) along with Stanford. I feel I could draw a decent amount of attention from at least one school. I already know I’m not a student that would impress any of these schools based upon scores alone.
"

Ok, I read the whole things, condensed it down.

It’s very important that I receive insight from those who are experienced in the college application process.

Insight: These are all reaches. You should apply. You need to find some matches and safeties and need to discuss with your parents how much they can pay. Run the net price calculator and make sure you can afford the schools that you apply to.
