<p>I think you will get in, provided you write a really compelling essay. Best of luck!</p>

<p>You don’t clearly state if your participation in extra-curricular activities went on for some time. Admissions officers want to see a commitment to a particular cause/activity rather than a number of one-time volunteering sessions.
Otherwise, your chances look quite good, particularly since your class rank and background will help their profile.</p>
