School List Suggestions

Where should I apply with my 3.96 UW GPA and other EC's that are prestigious or liberal arts?

Hi I've been having some problems crafting a school list and I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to give me suggestions on applying. I will have a 3.96 UW GPA by the time I will be applying as well as a 1580 SAT and 36 ACT. I have challenged myself with hard curriculum but mistakes happen and in 8th grade I ended up with 2 B+'s on high school courses which brought my GPA down.

8th Grade: 3.53 GPA

ALGEBRA 1 HONORS, EARTH SCIENCE, and SPANISH 1

(I took Geometry over the summer for credit as my school allows this as long as A on regents)

9th Grade: 4.0 GPA

ALGEBRA 2 HONORS, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, SPANISH 2 , ALGORITHMS/ABSTRACTION, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, GLOBAL HISTORY 1, AP FRENCH

(Pre-calc over summer)

10th Grade: 4.0 GPA

AP CALC BC, AP WORLD HISTORY, AP BIO, AP COMP SCI, SPANISH 3 honors, AP MUSIC THEORY, HEALTH

11th Grade: 4.0 GPA

Calculus III(college course), AP USH, AP CHEM, SPANISH 4, AP ENG Lang.

ECS:

Fluent in Spanish, French, and Mandarin

Won numerous piano competitions in the state

Attended Interlochen music summer program for Clarinet and Piano

Student Council Class Representative 4 years

120 hours of community service

Wrote and published a short novel sold 100+ copies

Tennis: JV 9-10 and Varsity 11-12

JV Volleyball 4 years and team captain in 12th grade

Science Olympiad for 4 years made it to states

Masterminds Varsity ( Quiz Bowl competition)

Co-president of HOSA Club and Asian Student Association

That's most of it, please let me know with any suggestions, aiming for Georgetown, Johns Hopkins?

Thanks,

Ian

The Claremont Colleges are the only LACs I can think of. You seem like you'd be interested in STEM, so MIT, Stanford, CMU, CalTech, Harvard, Columbia, and Princeton are some of the most prestigious universities you could apply to.

Most of these are reaches, but you could find some state schools or other targets/safeties pretty easily :)
