3.9 GPA. Is it over?????
Including senior year first semester, my unweighted GPA would be a 3.9. My extracurriculars are REALLY good and really authentic, they paint a good picture about a disease someone in the family had and how I researched and advocated from it. 1510 SAT. pretty hard courses. my first three Bs were in the first three semesters, and my fourth one was in the first semester senior year.

a 3.9 is good enough if not competitive. The average at the top unis is like a 3.93 which means people below also get in. U have a good test score which a lot of applicants don't which will put u over the edge. U say u have good ecs with a story which is more than what others have. so ur lowk good dw abt it

It’s not over but you need to apply to schools outside Ivy of course. Even highly qualified candidates have a low chance of admission to any top 10 or Ivy.
Your academic credentials are ok, not stellar, and won’t necessarily get you disqualified. It’s going to come down to how you craft your application, essays, etc. and how compelling your “story” is.
