Im an international student taking a gapyear and im very confused on whether i should apply to an ivy league college. I got into some okay colleges last year but because of the earthquake in my country i was unable to attend.
My alevel grade is 1a* and 4 A’s ( i didnt perform as well because my exam was 1 week after said earthquake )’:
My SAT score is 2050 but im giving it again in October
I have tons of extra curricular activities:

certified trainer in Yoga

Swimming
-Model United Nations
-Internships in Engineering Firm and an Engineering College

teaching tuition to current alevel students
-leadership programs
-Dance
-Art (i have a portfolio ready)
-Guitar- took part in various concerts

Organizing a School development project in remote village of my country
-goldmedalist in grade 10 for excellent studies
-Volunteering in Government run Childre.s hospital

Volunteering in woman shelters, cleaning program and environmental campaigns
-Chief editor of my school’s newspaper

Should i take my chances and apply to ivy league colleges like cornell or stick to medium colleges where i have a better chance of getting in?
