Hi everyone! Okay… given these details, what are my chances of admission at the ivy schools (Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, etc.) and/or the following selective institutions: Georgetown, UChicago, Stanford and Northwestern, what are my chances of admission? Given that I am a junior, some scores are not available at this time. But, I am hoping that this will give me some feedback on areas of improvement

Rank: 2/450
GPA: 4.0 (unweighted)
Race: Indian American
PSAT: 223 (M 72, V 73, W 78)

APs
World History- 3 (At my school, sophomore year, no AP classes are offered. Though I am taking the most intense classes at my school, AP World is not available. We were urged to take the test, even though the class is merely honors. Should I retake this exam?)

Classes- Most intense classes (This year I am taking 3 languages (Latin, French, Spanish) & two sciences (AP Chem and Physics). Once again, our school doesn’t have an AP US History class, it is taught at an honors level, but we are urged to take the exam. I am slightly nervous about this, as my previous attempt was very disappointing.
