What are my chances?

I know even ED (which I'm doing) is a lottery, and I know I don't have the best GPAs or SATs, but...

GPA (3.7/4.42 Weighted)
SAT: 2040 (CR 680/M 710/ W 650) (taking again tomorrow :P)
ACT: 31 (34 on Math, 31 or lower everywhere else)
AP Scores (AP Scholar with Honor): NSL 5, Spanish Lang. 5, Environmental Sci. 5, AP Calc BC 4 (5 on AB subscore)
*I've only taken AP NSL and Calc, the rest were IB classes where I still took the AP exam)

IB Diploma Candidate (Calculus HL, English HL, History HL, Spanish B HL, Psychology SL, Environmental SL )
Sports: Travel Soccer, Summer Swimming, Skiing (Double-Diamonds, Terrain Park, etc.)
Music: Trombone in Jazz Ensemble, Private Lessons.
Other: National Honor Society (recycling committee), Masters of Modern Music, Spanish Honor Society, 130 hours of Community Service, Math Tutor (Algebra 1, Precalculus, AP Calc BC),

I forgot to say I'm from the Mid-Atlantic Region at one of the top public high schools in the country.

I think willingness to play a sport would help. I would contact the soccer and skiing coaches. My impression is that Williams really likes smart, athletic kids. Other hook is that many kids join a musical performance group, I would express interest in doing that.
