<p>You have a very good shot.</p>

<p>keep up the good work.</p>

<p>be sure that with all these things going on, you still develop yourself as a person. i'm not saying that you are not, but it is easy to allow all these school functions take priority over your personal interests in life. if you can maintain most of these scores while doing things for yourself (do your own research...build things...whatever!) you will be better for it and get into anywhere you want.</p>
