Hi girlapplicant1 -
I am surprised that you haven’t had more responses. Are you applying for 2015? Have you already submitted your applications? My daughter, from TX, is a ‘fresher’ at St. Andrews. She applied to both St Andrews and U of Edinburgh. I feel you have very strong statistics and I think as far as SA and U of Edinburgh you should be in good standing. I don’t have enough knowledge about admissions at Imperial to give you accurate information. I know Imperial is very competitive. SA and U Edinburgh place a large emphasis on the personal statement on the UCAS if that is what you are using to apply. They are also interested in how your activities support your “major” that you applying to study. They don’t care about general extracurriculars but you can add some of your extracurriculars (volleyball etc.) briefly at the end of your personal statement.
Looking at your scores I think you have a very good chance!! I understand that for American students U of Edinburgh usually are given a conditional offer (but you have plenty of scores for them to look at so you may find you’ll receive an unconditional offer) and St Andrews generally will off an unconditional if you have met the requirements for admission.

Best of luck!
