So everyone, what are my chances?

I should also mention, I'm OOS and applying to the main campus.

I plan to have all of my application materials in within the next few weeks.

I'm also first generation college student from a single parent.

I would say you're right on the line. If you're applying, I would recommend doing so Early Action, which is non-binding. You may be ok, though, because of the AP classes.

I actually will have all of my application materials into there by the beginning of next week (they should be on campus by then).

I also am submitting recs from my counselor and a non profit that I interned for, does that improve my chances?

Admissions likes to see recommendations from people who really know you, not necessarily people of "high stature." That being said, if these people know you very well as a person, then that will always improve your chances (provided they give GOOD recommendations, of course).
