What are my chances of getting into an Ivy League school?
Hi! I'm from NC also. (: I think you have a chance, but not necessarily a good chance. My best friend had a 3.9 GPA (4.67 weighted), Governor's School, vice president of Beta Club, president of Book Club, 2280/2400 SAT score, 6 total AP cles with 5s on all of them. She only got one B in her entire high school career. 2nd generation student, white, rural southern town and very competitive high school. Despite all of this, she was rejected from Yale AND even Duke. So, I think you have good grades, but you really need to do something ridiculously amazing in terms of extra-curricular activities that no other student or very few students would have done (like raising $10,000 for charity or something). So perhaps consider doing something like that to help boost your chances. Otherwise, keep doing what you're doing - take AP/honors cles and do well in them and on the AP exams. Get your GPA as high as possible. And lastly, remember you can always transfer in to one of these universities if you're rejected as a freshman applicant. Hope this helped!
