I'd say you have a great shot if you were in-state. As it is, probably a slight reach, as you need something that will help you stand out against all the other top OOS applicants. I just don't see much in those EC's that jump out at me.

Pretty good shot for an out of state applicant. At this point, the only things you can do to improve your chances are to write good essays and to apply early. I suppose you could also retake the SAT. I wouldn't be as confident as goodcolleges is.
