Since I was admitted to Yale just this year, I am by no means in a position to give you any expert advice. However, I can see that your ECs reflect your interest in English and literature. Because college admissions has been getting a lot more competitive these days, it has become virtually impossible to make any realistic predictions; notwithstanding this recent development, I would say that you are a qualified applicant. If you want to further improve your chances, I would suggest that you take more SAT II subject tests and focus on your upcoming AP exams. Test scores are not going to earn you admissions, but IMO they are necessary prerequisites, especially if you come from an overrepresented demographic. I hope this helps.
