Do I look OK for a good college?

I have a 3.23 GPA
Top 20% of my class
26 ACT but taking it again
AP classes include: AP US History, AP English III, AP Calculus, AP Chemistry II, AP US Government
Eagle Scout
Section leader for my school’s Drumline, and have done band for 4 years. In 9th grade I auditioned and was selected as the number 1 snare drummer in Middle Tennessee
Member of my school’s Latin club
Amateur Boxing 3 yrs.
Muay Thai training 3 yrs.
Part time job for about a year and a half

Tell me what you think
Could I make it into top of the line school? or will I just have to go to an in state school
Oh, my GPA with all of my AP and Honors classes is between 3.7-3.8.
and i’m half mexican
I will go ahead and put my preferences

United States Naval Academy (I went to the Summer Seminar and it was awesome. Also, my parents know an Admiral.)
Emory University
University of Chicago
Notre Dame
University of Tennessee
Middle Tennesse State University (my last choice… but its right down the road from me)

You should definately be able to get into U. of Tennessee and maybe Emory and Notre Dame as well. Your GPA might be a bit low for Chicago. You should go to their website and check the profile of admitted students to see if you are close to their average. I think the military academies require you to be a varsity athlete since fitness is obviously important at a military academy. You might want to check into whether your boxing and muay thai would be considered an adequate substitute (assuming that you are still doing them).
