CHANCE ME PLEASE! (I know it's late...)

Hello everyone. So far I've been rejected from Northwestern, Wesleyan, and UVA, and was placed into the Core Studies Program at NYU, so I've gotten pretty nervous about the rest of my schools, especially Vassar which is one of my top choices. Here are my stats...

There's a pretty large depression in my grades sophomore year but I worked hard to pick it back up. Also, I've only taken Bio and Chem (no physics). This year I'm taking a bioethics class to fill my science requirement. I've taken Geometry, Algebra II, Precalc, and Calculus.

GPA:
Freshman: 3.79 (UW), No APs available, one accelerated language (B)
Sophomore: 3.49 (UW), One AP (B), one accelerated language (A-)
Junior: 3.76 (UW), Three APs (A, A, A-), one accelerated language (A-) NO SCIENCE TAKEN
Senior: 3.9 (UW), Two APs (A, A-), one accelerated language (A-) NO LAB SCIENCE TAKEN

SAT I:
CR: 740, Math: 640, Writing:740 Combined: 2120

SAT II:
English literature: 710, US History: 640

AP Scores:
AP US: 4
AP Art History: 4
AP English language: 5

ECs:
Asst. Stage manager, Asst. to the director
Wrote movie reviews for school paper
President of Film club
Member of top choir at school (Toured in Europe last year)
Year round job at local store (Work up to 18 hours a week)
Paid internship at local theater (It's a professional theater. Not community)
One year unpaid internship at local TV station
Peer leader in senior program at school

I think that you have pretty good chances. Your GPA and SAT II's are probably a bit low, but your SAT looks good.
