chances?

What do you think (for RD)?
Academics(at a very competitive prep school--usually about 20% to ivies alone per year):
GPA UW-3.75, W-4.2
My junior and senior year grades are not nearly as good as my freshman and sophomore grades are unweighted, but almost as good weighted. how much would this affect my chances?
SAT: 2310 (760 CR, 780 M, 770 W)
SAT II: 790-Math II, 750-projected english

ECs
strong interest in politics
President of school's Model Congress & MC regional position
congressional internship in local and dc offices
politics summer program
Mock Trial Captain
Student council vp& grade rep
basketball-hs and club (not recruited, but would tryout as a walk-on)
clarinet-orchestra

Thanks!

Stress mock trial on your app. I know my S's acceptance letter mentioned that he was Capt. of mock trial team so I assumed they really cared about that.

I think your chances are as good as anyone else's. One never knows at institutions. Make your essays sing. Send recordings of you playing the clarinet. Leave no stone unturned.
