Are you at a public or private high school?

I am thinking you may be a bit low on class rank but it may depend on the quality /competetitveness of your HS.

I understand that the SATs are unknown now, but how are your writing skills? Your essay and rec letters can make all the difference here. Not to pick nits on your spelling, but you wrote

If you will have your degree before graduation, you might not be considered an undergrad, but instead a transfer student. And the odds there are miniscule.

You are by no means an automatic exclusion, and you are also smart enough to understand that while you are clearly qualified/competitive, so are 90% of the rejected students.
