<p>I’d say you have a good chance (60%? I’m a senior like you so I know little more than you do). The straight A’s senior year in classes like those (Calc BC, AP Physics, lit) definitely definitely help!</p>

<p>I think if you like Wesleyan, with a record like you have, you absolutely ought to apply. I can’t give any percentage–it depends on the total mix of applicants and how you fit in in terms of the Admissions Committee having the overall composition of different types of first year students. Wesleyan is very rigorous, and it looks like you have the determination to do well in school. Go for it!</p>
