SAT:1540

SAT2s: pretty good idea that Physics, Math 2C, and Writing will be between 770 and 800

Unweighted GPA:3.65, at private school

8 math team trophies(between middle and high school)

14 science olympiad medals(between middle and high school)

2nd place team in state science bowl(captain)

President of Habitat for Humanity organization in school, lots of volunteer hours

qualified for AIME, won in-grade 4-part math contests in 10th and 11th grade(it was out of a much larger contest, 4th out of 202 in private schools, 20th out of 1360 overall)

8 APs(2 classes short of hardest schedule possible)

AP US-4, predicted scores: AP chemistry and Physics B-5s, Ap Government- 4 to 5

Great recommendation from physics teacher and very good recommendation from Math teacher(Duke Alum)

Scholar's Bowl(won 2 tournaments in 10th and 11th grade), and will probably be captain senior year

With those predicted numbers, do i have a reasonable shot at Stanford or other schools of that caliber?
