Will I get in?

Ok so I'm going to list some stats and personal information and if you guys could give me an outside perspective on if this seems realistic I would really appreciate it!

I live in Connecticut
SATs: Writing: 730; Math: 700; Critical Reading: 660
SAT IIs: Math 2: 720; Literature; 680
GPA: Fresh and sophomore year went to public school, ~ 3.3 unweighted
Junior Year at private school ~3.8
Senior Year at private school ~ 4.3 (weighted)
Caucasian
Activities: Varsity Volleyball and softball all four years
Church youth group for two years
Electronic Arts internship in San Francisco, worked on a Sims game and the game "Rock Band"
Travel softball since I was 9, got fifth in the nation one year and fifteenth another

Dad: Ivy undergrad, top-ranked U for grad
Mom: some college, didn't finish though

I have somewhat of an excuse for earlier not so hot grades...
When I was younger, I skipped a grade because was ahead of class. I actually did half a junior year at my public school, but halfway through I was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm and had to have open brain surgery and was taken out of school for the rest of the year. Thankfully, I was a year younger than everyone, so transferring to a different school and redoing my junior year did not present any age related problems. Essay talks about this.

I wrote in some of my essays that the reason I don't have tons of extracurriculars is because I had constant health issues pre and post-diagnosis, and also sports dominated the majority of my time.

I can't think of any other information that might help you guys assess me, but please feel free to ask.
