ED Chances for a white NoVA chick

Heh. The demographics are working against me.

White female from NoVA

Weighted GPA: 3.98 / UW: 3.74

SAT: 2240 (800 CR / 680 M / 760 W)
SAT II: US History - 790 / Literature - 780 / Japanese - Pending / Math IC - Pending
ACT: 34 (35 R / 35 M / 34 E / 30 S)
AP: US History - 5 / English Lang - 5 / Psychology - 5 (Will take US Government, English Lit, Japanese, Calculus AB, Chemistry, and Art History in May)

Extra-currics:
-Drama (Secretary of both Theatre Honor Society and Drama club)
-Japanese (Have been in Japanese Immersion since the first grade. Vice President of Japanese Honor Society, Secretary of Japan Club, Japanese tutor, Japan Bowl team member for two years. Basically, two other students and I run the Japanese department.)
-Forensics (President, first place in districts for DI)
-Future Medical Leaders of America (Co-president and co-founder)
-Girl Scouts (Gold Award and Silver Trefoil Award recipient)
-Certamen team for two years
-National Honor Society

Essays:
Both killer, according to my current English teacher. I think they're alright. Sort of took a risk with the personal statement. But where's the fun in life without risks?

Intended major:
East Asian Studies

Mneh. Coming from my school, I think I have an okay chance. Trying not to be cocky.

If you don't get in, I'm screwed.

We're a lot alike, with the Japanese and all. I just don't hail from NoVA...I wish I did sometimes though.

The opportunities...All those Japanese opportunities! ;_;

But wow, we're a lot alike. O-o I've taken APUSH, AP Lang, and am taking Psych and Lit this year...Holy Crap. O-O

Ah, but you're better at Math than me. I only managed a 26 ACT Math, compared to a 36 Eng and a 34 Reading (same Science score though).

You'd beat me out if they only chose one of us because of your scores though.

Definitely In. In fact I think you are in even in RD. If I were you I will go EA on Yale unless ofcourse you are set on W&M.
