I think you have a decent chance. SATs aren’t great, though decent. Something like 80% of the applicants played a varsity sport, and a large number were captains, so that isn’t your “hook.” So basically it will come down to your essays. The faculty research thing is good though.

PS–I also hope you aren’t that cocky in person. Colleges hope they are accepting the person that comes through on the application, not one that had to restrain themselves merely to attain common decency.
