Chances at Connecticut College RD?

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

Academics:
- Male, White, Long Island Public School Student
- 93.6 unweighted, 95 weighted GPA
- 11th – 2 AP’s (4-Bio, 5- US History)
- 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:
- VP of Model United Nations (biggest club in my school)
- Sports Editor and Assistant Advertising Editor for school newspaper

- Member and Tutor of:
National Honors Society
Spanish Honors Society
Business Honors Society
- VP of Teen Advisory Board at Public Library (coordinating activities for teens)
- Mentor for Book Buddies (teaching students ages 3-9 to improve literacy skills)
- Leader in group Teens as Leaders, servicing disadvantaged Long Island community (Ronald McDonald House, walk-a-thons, etc)

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
- 1st student ever to apply from my school (highly regarded)

Other Schools:
- Reaches: Brandeis, Emory, Oberlin, and William and Mary

thanks morningglory! well, small liberal arts school is the main draw; it offers strong programs in psych and international relations, which is huge; great study abroad, no frats, small classes, and a nice small town surrounding it with convenient accessibility to Boston and NYC... it's very appealing
