i am an upcoming senior and am worried about whether i can reach my dreams of attending an ivy league or top college. here are some info:

gpa:

overall: 3.88
weighted 4.63

class rank is 4 of 554 (top 1%)

ap courses: music theory, us history, chemistry
will take bio, calc bc, gov, econ, literature for the upcoming year

sat IIs: chem (720), math2c (750), and korean (790)

sat: 1890 (i will be retaking them)

extracurriculers: academic decathlon, taekwondo black belt 2nd degree, Key Club-Kiwin’s: sec for 2 years, historian for 1 year, California Scholarship Foundation- vice pres., NHS, volunteering at church with people with disabilities, tutoring
I really want to start a new club which helps peer counsel at high school and at surrounding elementary and middle schools. This club is also plans to help children have a place to play to prevent them from joining gangs, I have already made plans, but I am not sure if I am too late to start this club since I will be an upcoming senior

I want to attend upenn, dartmouth, cornell, or brown. Other schools outside of ivy I wish to attend are Johns Hopkin’s and UC Berkeley. Thank you for your time and your responses in advance!
