Really excellent recommendations...a world-famous physisist/nun who taught HIMPT and AP Calc, my principle who has a PhD from Harvard and teaches my Bioethics Class, and my English III teachers who is a great writer and absolutely loves me. They are all about my passion for philosophy and my unique approach to thought and learning. I sound like Plato for godsake.

I'd have to say my essays are prettty good. My common app essay is a personal reflection on why I chose psychology/philosophy...about a friend who I tried to help but ended up in rehab, and how I want to reconcile myself by helping others. My supplement is about an arguement with my mom over applying to Bard and demonstrates alot of critical thinking.

So what do you think? I really hope I get in!

I think you have a decent chance; your gpa might be a little low (then again, mine wasn't much higher and I got in IDP), and it'll probably help that you're a guy and an athlete.
