Help me please!

Alright so I'm a senior, in the midwest, and am really hooked on Vanderbilt. First of all I'll post my stats so you guys can do your thing and critize me and then tell me i still have a shot , just joking, really do i have a shot?

-31 act
-3.5 gpa unweighted, 3.7 weighted
- president of student council
-2 year leader of school spirit group
-worked every year of school
-4 year member of school diversity club
- involved with my temple's youth group
- 3 years of varsity hockey
-1 year of jv wrestling and soccer
-2 years of varsity soccer
- most improved player award
-fluent in Russian
-5 years of German
- taken all honors courses possible
- taken 8 dual credit classes, only offered after sophomore year and highest available classes
-also theres some other filler activities/extra ciriculars but not as important

So how does it look?

Also some other questions:
1. I want to apply ED to Vandy, but not sure because of my mom working at WashU. Since she has worked there a certain time i would get full tuition if i got in. I know its a long shot or me to get into WashU, and honestly I wouldn't go there as happy as I would Vandy, but it would be pretty much free! Do I go ED? (I know it would help me getting into Vandy like a thousand percent)

2. Political Science at Vandy. How good is it? As mentioned I'm looking at WashU, which in general is considered a little bit better but I like Vandy more, and American plus Tulane and Washington and Lee. Is there a big difference in the political science programs at the schools? There is much as far as rankings on the internet, and i find the rankings bogus most of the time anyway. Is there a big difference between the schools in polysci/getting into top notch graduate schools?

3. How do I get my area reps attention to help me? I first met him at a PreVu day, I thought we were cool because I got a good vibe and he seemed to like me. (He came up to me, he must have scouted me out) He came to my school, left a bunch of propaganda and my counselor said he seemed excited to be there. Since then I've left him a few emails on his school account with no reply. I understand he is busy right now, touring the area, reading applications, etc. I just thought he could say hey or something, acknowledge that he received my emails. How should I get to him so he remembers me/helps me out during the application process?

thanks for all responses
