Curriculum: I've taken the most difficult curriculum available at my school (including 6 AP classes, including four in my senior year)
ECs: Vice-President of Peer Ministry
Student Body Treasurer

I'd say you have a good shot, you are a legacy which helps, but make sure you put the time into the essay and have different people critique it because the 2 essays are the only way to show your character, personality, and interests to the admissions staff.
is this school a private school? thats like up there with exeter? if not then they probably dont know about "smart kids at top" on a national level. thats everywhere. doesnt look like you'll get in.
