Chances at Cooper RD?

I know a million people post these, but...any help is appreciated.
Btw, this is what I said in my applications, but not necessarily what I want to do (e.g. recently, I've given good thought on becoming a doctor).

Going for: Civil Engineering

SAT (best): 700 CR 720 M 730 W
SAT II: Bio 690 Math I 750 Math II 800 Chem 750
AP: BC Calc 5, Statistics 5, U.S. History 4

GPA: 3.6 (B+) - didn't qualify for Honor's Society
> generally better at math and science
> weakest subject is English

Grades: (first quarter, Senior year)
AP English B
AP Macroeconomics B+
AP Biology B
AP Chemistry A
Wind Ensemble A
Graph Theory P

I'm one year advanced in math, so I'm already done with my math curriculum in school and Graph Theory is an independent study course I'm taking at a local community college with 8 other students also in my position.

Extracurriculars:
Math Team: 4 years (now captain)
Free the Children - volunteer organization (4 years)
Chess Club - 4 years (now president)
Church deacon (3 years)
Wind Ensemble - 4 years
Math/AP Statistics Tutor - 3 years (different kids)

Other Stuff: Cornell Summer College 2007
Microeconomics B
Macroeconomics B+
Engineering Seminar A-

I'm an American-born Taiwanese male, if that changes anything also.

You got a decent chance. You better hope that not too many kids apply there also from your school because they might compare you.
