Very strong academics, but the ECs might be the weakest point of your application. Aside from being a campaign volunteer for Rand Paul (which, politics aside, would have to explained - what exactly did you do as a part of his campaign? Was it local or national?), there isn’t a strong focus or a deep interest in your major.

I’d think you would get your foot in the door based on your academics, but unless your essays and recs are stellar/you have some reason why you didn’t do more in the EC department, I’d also invest time in matches and safeties.
