Here are some “real life” stats for you. My son had a similar record to yours. Last year, my son had a 2300 SAT, 3.7 unweighted gpa, and not much in the way of ECs.

He got waitlisted at Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, and Emory.

He got into UCLA.

Got rejected at Northwestern and Duke, and University of Chicago.

Got rejected at Berkeley.

Got rejected at the Ivies.

Got into University of Florida and UNC.

He had friends who got into Wash U with stats similar to his. So I think you will get into Wash U.

Perhaps Georgetown as well.

It is VERY tough to get into a top 20 school unless your record is almost perfect.
