<p>yeah you've got a good shot... they have pretty unpredictable admissions, though. One girl from my school applied ED - IB candidate, editor of the yearbook, senior class secretary, 3 varsity sports... deferred, waitlisted, rejected. She was so disappointed that she's taking a gap year now. But your EC's are far less generic, so i think that if you can pull them together in an essay, you have a really excellent shot. If I had to bet either way, I'd say you're in.</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance for those reaches, especially the ivies.
Good Luck!</p>

<p>P.S. Godfather, you need to be less confrontational. its probably a typo.</p>
