Will my Junior/Senior year schedule be enough?

Hello! I’m a current junior hoping to get into a top-tier U.S school or study internationally, and I’m experiencing quite a bit of anxiety about my schedule and grades for the remaining two years of high school. I’m still indecisive about whether I want to study zoology or anthropology/archaeology, but I hope that my courses will be enough to supplement whatever I choose during my applications. My stats seem a bit average (or even weak) for my goals and I’d love to have someone else’s input on the matter!

Here’s my current schedule:
IB English HL/ AP Lit
Pre-IB German 1
Art 1
Pre-Calculus (dropped from Pre-IB to on level)
IB Biology HL/ AP Bio
IB History of Americas HL/ APUSH
AP European History
AP Macroeconomics
IB Theory of Knowledge

Here’s senior year’s predicted schedule:
IB English HL
IB German SL
IB/AP Studio Art
IB Math Studies SL
IB Integrative Technology in a Global Society SL
IB Biology HL
IB History HL
IB TOK

Extracurriculars/Awards:
Student Council, Model UN, Gay-Straight Alliance, regular volunteer schedule at the SPCA, published and awarded poet, and hopefully more things to add soon

During sophomore year I took AP Human Geography and AP English Lang and scored a 4 on both of them, and I haven’t taken the SAT yet. My GPA is currently a 4.1 (3.5 unweighted) and I’m trying my hardest to bump it up! Do you guys think this is enough to have a spot in an ivy or other top-tier college? Thank you for any input!
