Are these schools still possible?

I am an international student (from the UK) about to go into my second year of law school. My first year grades weren't amazing I got a 2.2 which is equivalent to a 2.9-3.0. However the first year doesn't materially contribute to the overall degree classification so if to say I got two 1sts (in the second and final year) which would bring my overall classification to a 1st, which would be a 4.0. I am hoping LSAC would see this overall classification as superior, because if I do get two high 1sts in the second and final year I could potentially bring my overall average up for all three years.
I have an impressive number of softs (debate team etc) and am taking a gap year to do interns at the EU and UN as well as working with Amicus on a death row case.
LSAT wise I think with hard work etc I can pull of 173.
With stats like this is Harvard, Yale, Columbia, NYU and Berklee a long shot off? Is it completely out of my reach.
Also sorry if this sounds confusing, I realise international applicants go through a different process with grading etc. I was just wondering if anyone on here would be able to help.
