<p>You have a good shot. Keep up the good work. You are not a special applicant, though your minority status will certainly help. You have good stats, and would probably have a good shot at any of those schools with Princeton being your reach (I assume).</p>

<p>Best of luck in the application process; I'm sure you'll be alright (as long as you don't start slacking off).</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance. I had a slightly lower SAT score than you (2040) and a very similar GPA (3.79 uw) and I just got a likely letter last week (I didn't have nearly as many ECs, either). Just make sure that you don't start slacking off...and work hard on your essays!</p>
