Well bro. I'm just a high school student like yourself. but when you have a 98% SAT, 5's on all AP's. Recommendations like that, a literally perfect GPA, and all that service:

you can get into whatever the heck you want. I don't know much about BSMD, but if I were you, I'd go into the best private school in the country with a full tuition like the Bill Gates scholars and continue doing a great job in college. You get scores like that in college, you're set at any Med school if you get your MCAT right.

Get some shadowing in there and you should be just fine.

I see that you didn't build an orphanage in Africa. I'm assuming you're doing that over Christmas, so once you get that done, you should be within reach/match range.

I really wouldn't worry about your chances. BTW, admissions into Ivies is really is dumb luck sometimes. I had even higher numbers than you with tons of ECs in HS and didn't get into some Ivies, while other friends with markedly lower qualifications did. I also think I had a particularly rough year for college applicants in general (class of 2008)
