Your GPA is the only thing I'd be worried about. SATs, ECs, and ACT is great, but your GPA will hurt you. I think you have a decent chance at getting in, but probably no scholarship.

I agree with Sak09. Everything looks good except for the GPA which may or may not be a strong deciding factor for you. I don't really know much about the requirements for internships though.
