<p>Unless your teachers hate you or your essay is horrible, I don't see why you wouldn't have a great shot at getting in. Your stats are clearly great and your ECs show both your interest in math/science as well as quite a bit of well-roundedness. In fact I don't even know why you asked as I'm sure you know you're fine.</p>
