How far will getting straight A's in only CP classes take you?

Hello, I was recently searching the internet for this kind of thread and I haven’t seem to found one like this. Currently I’m a high school Sophomore. An overachieving teenager who hasn’t had the opportunity yet to take an Honors or AP class in high school. My current sophomore GPA is a 4.0, and I can confidently say that I am only able to attain this high unweighted GPA because of the fact that I have only taken CP classes. Theoretically speaking, lets say I keep myself on this route of having good grades in normal classes, an average amount of extra curricular, and lets say a 2000 SAT, where would I end up? as in which type of colleges would accept me? the good student who hasn’t challenged himself in high school.

Also, who would get into the “better” university, the 4.0 CP student or the 3.0 all Honors student? (If they were to have around the same SAT).

By the way, if the 4.0 CP student was to stack on 2 honors classes and 3 AP’s his next year of high school, would he still be able to keep up his straight A’s?

Thank you for responding,
The good CP student.
