Chance me pleeease?

Hey everyone, i'll make this as quick as possible because i really just want to know what a normal guy like me chances are.

Weighted GPA: 3.92

SAT: 1710

SAT II: Literature-490 (just retook it so we'll see if it increased)
US History-530

EC: About 100 hours (maybe a little bit more) for a down syndrome organization where I live, and I'm family friends with president so she'll write me good recommendation letter.

Played soccer for 10 years, stopped to focus on grades so started working out for 2 years to now, was vice president of entrepreneurs club last year, and rank 93/545 for my senior class.

So yea, thats pretty much it. If you could help me out and shed some light on my chances it would be greatly appreciated! I'm freaking out over here!

Also, on a side note, if you would be willing to chance me for UC Davis also it would be appreciated =)

Thanks

I find it odd that you have such a good gpa but low SATs and SAT IIs, do you go to an easy high school?

But other than that you probably have a decent shot

No I dont go to an easy school at all, in fact were ranked one of the top in the district. The thing is I try reeeeaaallly hard to get my grades in school, and for me at least (even with private tutoring) the SAT's are extremely hard.

I get my grades not because of my intelligence but because of my work ethic. Standardized tests have always been tough for me =(
