Although you’ve taken rigorous courses, your gpa is low due to the fact you got so many B’s taking on more than you can handle. Colleges like to see applicants challenge themselves but do it to a point where one can still maintain a high gpa; otherwise, colleges just think a student is just stuffing their schedules with weighted classes just to get a higher overall GPA.

Unfortunately, your SAT 1 is not very good for the Georgetown and up. Reach for Gtown, Duke, Cornell and poor match to U of M (OOS status really hurts you here). Raise your SAT 1 score up to around 2200 and your chances for all the schools will go up quite a bit.
