kenyon chances?

I know there's so many of them :/ but I'd really like some reassurance/suggestions

_________
I'm african american
3.8 gpa
I've taken all honors/ap courses so far

AP US History-5
AP English Lang-4
AP Psychology-5

Next year I'm taking:
AP Bio, AP French, AP English lit, AP world history, advanced functions and modeling, honors orchestra

sats (pretty low >< retaking october)
math 550 critical reading 660 writing 610
8 on the essay (i don't understand why...i think of myself as a pretty good essay writer)
taking the act for the first time in september, and taking sat IIs later on (probably us history and french)

ECs
orchestra, play the violin (four years)
all county honors orchestra particpant, 3 years
french club photographer
all american cross country camp
french national honor society
Indoor Track two years
outdoor track two years (varsity letter)
cross country two years(varsity letter)
collected and donated books to a primary school in my mom's village in Kenya over the summer of 2007

i'm writing the essay about diversity. i personally think it's a great essay. i'm putting info about my background (kenyan mom, french/malian dad) and how my group of diverse friends help me see the world from their point of view

I visited over spring break and really loved the small school atmosphere and academic community.

any help is appreciated...any hope for me with the low sats/high GPA?
