Wow, you are a very busy lady. I'm not an expert in admissions, but I think you have a very good shot. Keep your grades up and write very passionate essays. Good luck!

You have the exact same GPA as me and similar activities, and since I got in I think you have a good shot. Like BunsenBurner said, keep up the grades and be good to your teachers and I might see you next year!
