Your ACT is a tad bit low, but your class rank is excellent, and your extracurriculars are more than enough. I'd say if you can raise that ACT composite, you have as good a chance as anyone at getting in (by which I mean besides your essays, recommendations and interview, there isn't much more you can do to improve your grade).
