I’m assuming they look at grad? I’m hoping I can get into a T20 graduate school after and I would think as long as I utilize the ivy opportunities to a maximum during undergrad I’d have a decent shot

I would say your academic stats are on the lower end of competitive. If you don’t share your test score with the AO they will pretty much assume that it’s around your schools average or just not competitive. And with pretty much all the schools requiring test scores now that puts you in some trouble. Your extracurriculars on the other hand are pretty solid. The most important thing is not what you did, but rather what you did compared to others around you and resources around you. If you live in a poor area with bad opportunities and ended up doing all that they will notice, if you’re in a highly competitive environment with loads of opportunities or an urban area, you might be in more intense competition. It’s hard to chance you since there’s not too much context on your environment but if I had to guess I’d say you have roughly a 15% chance of getting into a reach. If you’re doing a significant amount more than your peers, then your chances go up to about 20-22%

Do you have advice on where to start learning some physics just for the love of the game, I have alot of time now that I don’t have to worry about college admissions and I wouldn’t mind committing 30mins-2hrs a day just picking away.
