-white male.....bleh
-top 5%
-3.92 uw gpa
-33 ACT (I think I got a 34 on this last one; will that make a big difference?)
-4 years of Quiz Bowl and this year's captain
- 4 year letter on varsity tennis, made it to state two years
-4 years of All Region and All State Choir for Bass II

Chances NU

I think you have a very good shot. Yes, ED would be a better route as more acceptances, then again, if you need financial aid, sometimes RD is better (I hear most schools do not provide much financial aid to ED kids) Not sure what other schools you are considering, but I think you need to add William & Mary and Notre Dame to your list.

I took Government and English Composition last year. This year I am taking Calculus AB, English Lit, U.S. History, Biology, and Spanish Language. Is 7 AP's okay?

Yeah dude why didn't you? maybe you can still send the form and ask them if they can make an exception? doesn't hurt to ask really.
