Am I a contender in admissions

Can I make it into Wesleyan with these stats? I feel like I would fit right into the community. I absolutely love the people and the school as a whole.

Missouri, Public, medium size high school

GPA UW/W: Weighted is moderately bad because i rarely got H's (5.0) in honors/AP, only A's (4.5)
3.83/4.05-4.1 at the end of Junior year (the gpa colleges will see)
The weighting system is odd...
(3.64 Weighted first semester of Frosh year is weighing me down)

for honors/AP classes the criteria is this
H (97 or higher) - 5.0
A - 4.5
B - 3.5
C - 2.5, etc.

Honors/AP:
Honors English 1
Honors Bio 1 and 2
Honors Modern US History
Honors English 2
AP World History
Honors Bio 3
AP EUro History
AP Bio
AP Lit Comp
AP Stat
AP Calc AB
AP Psych
mostely 4's, some 5's, one 3


ACT
Composite - 31
MAth - 32
English - 30
Not Superscore

EC's:
Soccer - all 4 years, Varsity JR and SR
Tennis - all 4 years, Varsity SR
Chess Club - Soph through SR
Mu Alpha Theta - Soph through SR
Key Club - Soph through SR
NHS - JR and SR
90 hrs Volunteer at local library
Mens Room Acapella group - Soph through SR
Jazz ensemble group - Soph through SR

Class Rank:
8%-11% (not completely sure yet) out of ~390 - pretty competitive
although I'm not sure if they're including it in our transcript

My essay will probably be a very well written essay about my vegetarianism and/or about being adopted.

I'm an adopted Caucasian Male (adopted from Russia)

Not first Generation

Be realistic; do i have a chance?

I'm not sure about your school choice but u have fantastic grades and vegetarianism sounds dull for an essay topic. Don't stress I'll def get into the top state school but ivies r always a reach.

Reed is an amazing school.
And you are just what they are looking for...
Keep it up, visit the campus, and I don't know how they could say no to you.
