What are my chances

I just finished my junior year and I am planning on applying to AU but am worried that I won't get in. My GPA is low but i've taken alot of difficult courses and I go to a top-ranked public school in the chicago suburbs. I would like to go to SIS.

3.21 GPA
class rank- 252 /747
8 AP classes by the end of high school: U.S. History
Government and Politics
Economics
English Langauge and Composition
Psychology

Decent amount of EC's: International Club
Political Science Club
Pi Sigma Pi (History honors society)
Leo Club (community service org.)

Extras: I attended the National Youth Leadership Forum on Law in D.C.
I will be attending the Presidential Youth Inaugural Conference in Jan

So what are my chances guys. And if there is any, any suggestions on how to increse that chance?

Here are the stats on admitted students:

Admitted Freshman Statistics

Stats of those actually attended are likely a little bit lower.

You probably can figure the odds yourself.
