<p>I think it’s more or less inevitable that you are among the top applicants. However, it’s important to remember that absolutely nothing can guarantee your acceptance; schools can make mistakes and choose the wrong people, so don’t get your hopes up.</p>

<p>That aside, your stats are exceptional - so exceptional that I doubt it’ll be easy to find paper space and time during your interview (if you elect to have one) to squeeze it all in. That, however, is a good thing - better that than not have enough to fill the space. As for your comment about your GPA being just okay, remember that college admissions offices deal with applications from kids will all different types of educational backgrounds - a 4.0 somewhere might be a 2.5 elsewhere and vice versa. This is where standardized tests like the SAT and AP come into place; they level the playing field.</p>
