What are my chances?

I'm currently a junior who's taken the toughest classes all year
9th All honor classes Plus AP World History
10th All Honor Classes
11th 3 AP's (Physics B, Psychology, and United States History) and rest all honors
12th got recommended to take 6 AP's (AP Lit, Calc AB, Us and Gov, Micro, Chem, and Bio)
My GPA 3.6 (i know its low but partially it was due to extreme work hours at my families business since my uncle cant work due to stomach cancer)
My SAT Score 2070
ACT Score 31
SAT 2 Scores US-History-620, Chem-640

EC's
Editor of Features Section for Newspaper Club
Active participant in French and Latin Club
Varsity Golf Player since 9th grade (All-Counties)
Play the violin for hospitals and was in (All-Counties)
Held a Violin recital at Berkshire Music Hall
Interned at a hospital for 3 years
Volunteer Work at two hospitals (both over 100 hours)
Held a fund raiser at my grandparents country club for Breast Cancer
Junior Varsity Soccer Player (9th and 10th had to stop due to knee surgery)
Went to college credit summer programs and received credits for college (John Hopkins University Program)

If any of you guys could tell me what my chances are and what I have to work on in my senior year to help better my chances of acceptance to Boston College it would be greatly appreciated thanks!

yeah I think you have a great chance of getting in - my only advice would be to work hard to improve your GPA a bit during senior year.

i'd say you're in pretty good shape. make sure your GPA doesn't drop (you have AP Chem and AP Bio, those are pretty killer), and why are your SATII scores so low? you seem alot smarter than that. ECs are great, start thinking about what you want to write about on your essay, common app is available july 1....
