What schools should I aim for?

Being ranked in the top 2% of your class and being a hooked applicant should give you some nice opportunities for relatively selective schools. Are you also going to apply to UNC-Asheville? What is your intended major? Your ECs are somewhat thin. Do you have any community service to speak of? What type of schools do you like-- large, small, urban, rural, what region of the country, etc.? Will you be needing much financial aid?

I would suggest taking some SAT practice tests or, if your family can afford it, enroll in an SAT prep course, to “force feed” those practice tests down your throat, so you can get better results on the real tests.
