What are my chances of getting into Wesleyan?

I am currently a high school senior, and I'm aspiring to get accepted to Wesleyan. I'm aware it's a hugely selective school, and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what my chances are.

I have an unweighted GPA of 3.72, and a weighted of 4.50 out of 5.3. I have an SAT score of 2000 (I only took it once) with a math score of 680, reading score of 690, and writing score of 630. I'm taking SAT II's in a week or so. I've also taken 2 AP tests so far and got 5's on both (European History and Lang.& Comp.), and I'm taking two more AP's this year as a senior (US 2 and Lit.& Comp.)

I'm most worried about my extra curriculars, because this is where I'm a bit weak, but this came from a back problem that I've dealt with all through highschool that took up both a lot of time and energy. But my ec's are:
-I'm in both Spanish Honor Society and English Honor Society.
-Practiced Tae Kwon Do from 1-9 and I am a black belt
-National Silver Medalist in Scholastic arts and writing in 8th grade
-Hugs Not Drugs Community service project (placing candy machines to raise funds)
-Play guitar/bass for 4 years and formed a band and play shows
-Worked for 2 summers
-Volunteer tutor fellow students on an as needed basis

I'm also planning on applying early decision 1 if not early decision 2, so I'm wondering if this will help my chances because I'm in the average range for grades and SAT's.
I'm also going to get interviewed, and I tend to interview well and have legitimate passion about what Wesleyan stands for on learning for the sake of knowledge, plus I plan on visiting the campus at least two more times, once before I apply, and once more after I apply.

Since I'm also a strong writer, so my selling point is going to be my essay, so does anyone have any tips for me?
