does taking a study hall destroy chances of getting in anywhere good?

Okay so I'm going to be a junior, and I have no idea if my schedule is okay or not to get into a good school. I honestly just want to go to Ohio State but my parents think I need to go to an Ivy, but I never thought my grades were high enough. I play 3 varsity sports, tennis/basketball/track (1500 students at my school so sports are competitive), am in 6 clubs and thats it. Here are my classes/grades, I really just need to know if I need to drop study hall lol

Fist of all, your grades are amazing. Second of all, with your activities I would be worried about being overworked without the study hall and maybe even with. Please do not drop your study hall and good luck this year!

Dropping a needed study hall is not a smart move, especially if you are busy with extracurriculars. Take into account that if you take an AP class instead of a study hall, it's more work and you have less time to do it, making lower grades more likely. Also, Go Buckeyes!
