<p>It's not a crapshoot. Your stats are good enough to get you in anywhere. Your essays and recs are what it's going to come down to.</p>

<p>I think you have concentrate on your essays, as the other people pointed out. Also, you have to make sure you express your interests in such a way that its not just a smattering of activities, but rather concentrated in a few areas.</p>

<p>I didn't see volunteering in your post, but I think your ECs are pretty decent already. </p>

<p>I think you have good chances and congrats on getting into some colleges already!</p>

<p>I don't think anybody can stress to make your essays good and unique enough times, but I'll continue that trend. Your stats are strong, but so are the ones of (mostly) everyone else applying. Good luck!</p>
