<p>Your ECs are very impressive for any Arts and Sciences school. Your Sats and grades are good too and your chances are probably the best they could possibly be considering the crapshoot that is Ivy admissions. You may want to specify your intended major as those activities are very diverse in the social arts field. Chance me back?</p>
