<p>You have excellent chances, I would watch out because with your range of ECs you could look a bit spread thin on your application. Decide what you're truly passionate about or find a common thread through your activities to focus on in your essays.</p>

<p>Especially with your legacy status, I would be very surprised if you were rejected.</p>
