Chances at Brandeis RD?

Hey Everyone! I was just wondering what you think of my chances at this school:

- 12th- 4 AP’s (Psych, English Lit, Macro Economics, and US Government)
- 6 Honors Classes

Tests:
I’m only using my ACT score, b/c it was vastly superior to my SAT, and it covers my SAT 2 requirement, so here it is:
- 31 ACT Composite (about 1400 and 2070-2080 equivalent on the SAT)
o 35 Reading, 31 English, 29 Science, 28 Math
EC’s:

- Mentor for Book Buddies (teaching students ages 3-9 to improve literacy skills)

Work Experience:
- 2 summers (10th and 11th):
o Public Library (Summer Reading Mentor; teaching elementary school kids to improve literacy skills)
o Camp Counselor

Miscellaneous:
- Terrific Essay (I think) --- describing my experiences in a “second home” --- West Hartford, and how it has shaped me
- Great Recs
