Smith- Just freaking out a little

So I'm just freaking out a little about getting into my tailor made school Smith. So someone please just give me an answer here cause I need a third party opinion. My parents say that Smith is very hard and that I should not get my hopes up, but others who have friends who go to Smith say that I have a shot.

So my unweighted gpa is about 3.7-8
I am on the quiz bowl team, vice president of gsa
I am apart of this unique international program that will have a letter of recomendation attached.
I will have 128 hours of volunteer work at children's hospital.
I regularly compete for poetry out loud.
I lived abroad for two years, one year in high school.
Will take about 3 AP courses and mostly honors.
And my school is a blue ribbon school.

Ok I feel better reading this, but please just tell me your opinion anyways!

What's your SAT/ACT? I got in/am going so I can give you a pretty good idea once you give me your test scores

Edit: unless of course you're a test optional applicant... but it would help to have way more details on the ECs

It seems like you have a really strong resume. Even though it might hurt to be let down, it's better to shoot for your dreams, just have a back up plan. I would say go for Smith, but apply to a few second-choice schools, in case you're not accepted. Best of luck!
