What are my chances?

I currently go to a international baccalaureate (IB) public school in New York. I currently have a 95 UW GPA and will graduate in the top 5% of my class (probably 6/180). I recently scored a 1860 on my SATS (700 M, 550 CR, 610 W). I am involved in a good number of extracirricular activities. I recently got a part time job, I volunteer(ed) at a total of two nursing homes, I am a member of bio diversity, habitat for humanity and WEME(card making organization for senior citizens.) I have 150+ hours of volunteer work including volunteering at a church. Additionally, I am a member of National Honor Society, as well as Spanish National Honor Society and Math National Honor Society. I am also a member of club 90, and have received two awards for student of the month in history and psychology. I will have great recommendations and a great essay. Also, I am technically considered "Caucasian" on the application even though I am Arab-American (so no URM). The one problem that I see with my application is that I do not have any leadership positions in any of my clubs. I also currently have a 680 on Math Level I (on the second retake from 560) and still have to take Biology which I am expecting at least 650.

What are my chances? What if I get a 1950-2050 on my SATS the second go around?

Thanks!

I think you have a good chance if you get your SAT's up a bit. What are you thinking of majoring in?
