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

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:

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 :)
