Ahh! Chance me!

I can't believe I'm doing one of these, but I'm going to be that kid.

[ b]Stats:[ /b][ list]
[ *] SAT: 2040
[ *] SAT IIs: Spanish - 690
Math I -680
Bio Eco - 630 (ehh)
[ *] ACT: 32
[ *] GPA: 96.0500
[ *] Rank: 2 of 154
[ *] Other stats: Spent the entire last summer working at a prestigious lab down state doing cutting edge research towards finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. I also interned at another biology lab for several days and ended with a presentation in front of a roomful of scientists. I'm also on NHS (including a regional and state board of MNHS), Math Team for four years, volleyball, Swim Team (All-County), drama for four years including principle roles, involved in band and chorus including being accepted to the Maine All-State Honors Choirs. I also founded and am president of the first Spanish Club at my high school. I've received several awards including Gold Presidential Academic Award, Bausch and Lomb Science Award, High Honor Roll, and Honors 12 Award (given to seniors who took the most rigorous course load offered).
[ /list][ b]Subjective:[ /b][ list]
[ *] Essays: Pretty good, it was about my aquisition of the Spanish language and why I enjoy it so much
[ *] Teacher Recs: Amazing
[ *] Counselor Rec: Amazing
[ *] Hook (if any): A lot of science (including much professional lab experience). I also had an amazing interview. The guy described to me what would happen after the interview, saying it will be moved to an admissions person who will choose to deny me, advocate me, or "table" me, which would mean getting more opinions. He said he wouldn't even expect me to get tabled.
[ /list][ b]Location/Person:[ /b][ list]
[ *] State or Country: Northern Maine (WAYY UP North)
[ *] School Type: Public, 600 people
[ *] Ethnicity: Caucasian
[ *] Gender: Male
[ /list][ b]Other Factors:[ /b]
[ b]General Comments:[ /b] Also applying to Harvard, Dartmouth,Brown, Bowdoin, Amherst, BC, and Middlebury. Opinions on any of those or Bates would be much appreciated!

for bates this year? Your SATs are a little low, but, then again, Bates is test optional. I'm sure you'll get in, you seem fine
