Is my GPA good enough?

Hi, I’m a junior in HS and I’m almost finished with my first semester. For some background information, my HS is ranked amongst the top five high schools in my state. We have been on the news and in the New York Times for the unreasonably competitive nature of our school, and stress that our school places on the students. That being said, I take an extremely challenging course load (5 APs currently, 5 APs in senior year- total projected number of APs: 10). Currently, I have a 3.69 UW, and a 4.31 W GPA. I consider all other parts of my admission being impressive–I have a long list of extracurriculars, internships, and an impressive ACT score. I am aiming for a top-tier school, so JUST in terms of GPA, am I adequate, or do I need to get it up a little more? Thank you.
