Chances for Top Business Schools?

Hey guys, just wanted to see everyone's comments to see if I have a chance for the following undergrad business programs: UMich Ross (Preferred Admissions), U Penn Wharton (I don't have a chance, just applying...who knows), NYU Stern

GPA: 4.0 UW (my school doesn't have a weighted GPA)
1st Generation American
--this year i've taken: accelerated physics, ap bio, ap eng lit, french 3, medical skills terminology and emergency response, honors precalculus, the old west
--next year: ap psych, ap chem, ap calc bc, world religions, french 4 (AP at my school), trying to get into micro/macro econ via online courses, some other courses that I can't remember...
ACT: 30 (32 Math, 32 Reading, 30 English, 26 Science )
AP Bio Score: 5
AP Lit: 3

extracurriculars:
founder of youth group, secretary (9/10)
mun member (9)
mun secretary (10)
mun sec-gen (11/12--i've been re-elected for next year)
humanitarian club
student government
volunteer at a nearby hospital starting this year (will have about 70 hours by September)
math club
michigan math league
muslim student association
will join the french club
national honor society (10/11)
NHS treasurer (will be for 12th grade)
finally: Nine4Peace. made up of nine kids (duh...) we talked to michigan senators and got a bill introduced into the michigan legislature to help stop divestment to sudan (AND IT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY!!). we've also organized rallies to raise awareness about Darfur.

I've gotten around 12 awards from school for high grades.
One of my family friends got into NYU Stern and UMich Preferred Admissions with a 29 on his ACT and not as much extracurriculars...

Thanks so much!

NYU Stern: Match/Reach
U of Mich-Ross: Match
UPenn: High Reach (Anything is possible, you may or may not get accepted)
Cornell: High Reach

You should consider UVA too.. UVA is #2 business school in U.S. behind UPenn Wharton (#1 business school in U.S.) and UVA is cheaper than these four schools. I might consider to transfer to UVA after 2 years at Gallaudet University, though.

i think you have a shot at all the schools you listed. No guarantees, but a shot. You have some strong ECs, but none that are really business related. Maybe if you could focus on that. Chance me please i'm also applying to wharton.

Applying to Wharton.....is there any chance??
