My life's irony....

Before I moved to US, I lived in an Asian country. There, I had a severe competition with my cousin even though he was older than me. We both wanted to excel more than each other. However, I moved to US in 4th grade, while he stayed back home. But now, I found out that he is currently attending University of Texas Austin, which I believe is a top university. I really want to go to a college that is better than U of T A; so this year, as a junior, I am taking AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP language and Composition, Honors PreCalculus, Organic Chemistry, Physiology, and two study halls. After my junior year is over, I will also take my SAT in June and SAT Math 2C, SAT Chemistry, and SAT biology in following months, during and before my senior year–yet in time for college admissions. I am hoping to attain a very high GPA, because I am completely devoted to my studies. Also, I am hoping to get 700+ score on all of my SATs. Furthermore, I am also researching and developing a case study on physicians–too complicated to explain here–I am also going to volunteer at Ohio State University’s medical department, and I am going to shadow my Mother at her job–Oncology. Moreover, I also worked for two months during my freshman year at a MAC’s convenient store in Canada, and I won the best student award in Physical science. I can speak three languages–English, Hindi, and Urdu; and I can read but not comprehend Arabic. And I have some competency with Spanish. So, please tell me if I was to achieve my set goals this year, will I have a chance at an Ivy league, or any university that is better than University of Texas Austin? Thank you.
