<p>Is that a good ACT score for those schools I want to go to? (Rice, Northwestern, Cornell, Georgetown, etc, still working on a list of what schools to apply to). How good are my chances with the 34 ACT, SAT 2’s, AP’s, and GPA/class rank?</p>

<p>It’s a solid score, that’s for sure. According to the conversion charts, a 34 on the ACT is equivalent to getting a 2260 on the SAT, which gives you a good chance at all the schools you cited.</p>
