you're going to need over a 4.0 for both. for georgetown, maybe a 4.0-4.2 and a good SAT. for an ivy, almost a perfect SAT score and at least a 4.5. someone i know got into yale with a 4.7 but deferred from harvard. you're also going to need something that shows commitment/leadership. and a lot of community service.

4.0, for Georgetown and the Ivies. Lowest 3.8. And amazing extra-curriculars, be distinguished...yeah, I'm 15 too. I'm going through the same hell as you. I have at least one extra-curricular every day of the week and a 3.9 GPA. Have fun.

You should talk to your school guidance councilor. They will find out all the information you need to know about all of the colleges you may want to attend.

They will find out what your GPA should be, any classes you should take while in high school, any extra curricular activities, such as that.

Some schools like to see X amount of hours of volunteer work in your community on your application. That's something else you need to find out about.

That's what your councilor is paid for, and they will help you in every way possible.
