Answer:
Pearl, you have your head on straight and are so headed in the right direction!! Keep up your volunteer activities and club associations. Universities look at GPA , SAT, and the well rounded activist in school and the community. Your grades are great, but remember, the competition is fierce. There are students who graduate in the top 5% but are rejected by Duke. So, continue to find ways to make you stand out and ...stand apart. Good luck !!
PSAT Score : Meaningless.
AP's - without scores, it doesn't matter. If you get 1's and 2's on the exams, this will hurt you. Honors courses are good - but what percentage of academic classes are at honors levels? Two honors English classes does not an Honors student make.
No Leadership roles, no sports (trying out doesn't count), but volunteer work is good. Do you have a part time job?
Sorry... this answer is ambivelent, but it is too early to tell you what colleges would accept you, and which won't. I could tell you that a mid-tier state school would in most cases (since they tend to take anyone who is half-way solid academically), but without those SAT or ACT scores and a GPA that could swing either up or down before you apply... no one can really say with any certainty. You could swing up to flagship state school, or down to community college over the next year.
