I have pretty strong letters of recommendation and I think my essay is rather unique and interesting although a bit on the long side (900 word pushing it too far)

I know that I don't have many EC's and have pretty much no leadership position. Also, I don't have any legacy since I'm the first in the family to go to university. Please be honest guys, I can take criticism, what do you think my chances are?
