<p>Based on your list, you have a great chance. You have solid grades, solid rank, solid scores, tough schedule, leadership roles, research experience, musical ability, and potentially good recs and essays. I don't know why you wouldn't be accepted, but no one knows how competitive the RD field is this year or who the almighty admissions officers are looking for. All you can do now is apply and be confident.<br>
Good luck</p>
