Except maybe your SAT score, your stats are solid. That and the double legacy should help. I’d estimate maybe a 25% chance of acceptance ED.

Your stats are great and you have a good chance in ED, with both parents legacy.
However, it will boil down to how your application was presented, and fit.
IMO, one cannot know how well their Recs or Essays were received. It is quite subjective.
Good luck !

The interview. Don’t forget about that aspect. My son applied, got an interview but didn’t get selected.

I actually think you have a relatively low chance simply because your extracurriculars aren’t spectacular. You really only have expressed interest in tennis, so unless you are a recruited athlete, they’re not great. But, your legacy and SAT make get you accepted. Good luck!
