Chances for Regular Admission

Hi, I'm applying to Vassar under Regular Decision as my financial situation realy prevents me from going the ED rout.

Here are my stats:

white male
1st generation college
low income/single parent family
Weighted GPA: 3.8
Class Rank: top 10%
SAT's: m: 750 cr: 680 w: 660
SATII's: us history: 710, math 1 640
Recommendations from two teachers who really liked me and thought I had some talent in writing.
Classes this year: AP Gov.
AP Lit
Honors French IV
Physics
Honors Precalc

EC's:
Debate Team President
Chess Club Founding member/president
National Honor Society
Mock Trial
A lot of volunteering with a local ymca camp

awards:
Gettysburg College Book award for U.S. history
numerous small-time school certificates for individual classes

I go to a rural public school which is pretty small and doesn't offer many AP classes, my Freshmen year is fairly weak with only a B+ average and a general level class, though I worked to improve over the years and now I'm in an AP level class for that subject, so I hope they'll take that into consideration.
