Your GPA hurts you
But........
the classes you got a B in (ie BC or chem), you got an exceptional score of a 5 on those AP exams. That balances it out well, as well as your strong SATI&SATII scores too..plus solid ECs.
You've got a shot. Make sure tho that your essays are exceptional!

Hooks/Anti-hooks? Anyways you take a hit with your GPA but I'd give you considerably above average odds.
