A Subject Score Quandary

Hi!
I’m a senior in India, and I’m looking at UVa as one of my top picks for college. My problem is this- I want to apply EA, but my second SAT Subject Test, World History, is now available in December only (I’m giving my first one, literature, in October so that’s not a problem). Will my December scores be considered? Or should I apply for regular decision? Also, does that put me at a disadvantage?

I am a pretty good student.
I’ve taken the SAT only once, 2190 (m:710; cr:760; w:720) but I’m taking it again in November.

We don’t have GPAs here, but my predicted grades are very high:
English: 95%
Sociology: 92%+; I’m lowballing here.
Psychology: around 90%- probably higher.
Economics: 90%
Math: 80% but that was due to me being sick on exam day, they’ll improve by 10% or so in the December evals.

btw, we only have 5 subjects in junior and senior year.
My 10th grade Board marks were also good.

As for my extracurriculars;
-first ever Head of Debates at my school, Badgeholder.
-Founder of Project Vak (a project that helped about 1000 schoolkids between 11-18 years with overcoming the fear of speaking in public).
-Co-founder of the Kalidas Initiative (raised funds- around Rs. 1,00,000- to get children living on the streets into shelters, in collaboration with NGOs)
-Vice-President of Gifting A Smile (raised funds and awareness for & about cleft palate deformities; just successfully funded a surgery- collaborated with Operation Smile, Smile Train, and other big international orgs. Krispy Kreme is a sponsor).
-Executive Board on the TSRS MUN.
-Worked with the Public Health Foundation of India (a govt. body) on their tuberculosis initiative.
-Won the national level Tehelka Foundation Freedom Of Speech Competition.
-Have participated in numerous debates and MUNs- both national and community/school levels, and of oxford, modified cambridge, and parliamentary formats.
-Editor (6 yrs) and Senior Editor (1 yr, obviously :p) of the Uncensored Magazine (and on the TSRS Editorial Board).
-Winner of the Triveni Award for lateral thinking.
-Acted in and organised youth productions of ‘Wicked’ and ‘As You Like It’.
-Member of the Sanskriti ‘Youth For Economics’ panel.
-Member of the yearbook committee at my school

involved in numerous other school spirit activities and other clubs.

Can’t think of anything else off of the top of my head.
So… what are my chances (even RD)?

Thank you,
Tanya.
