I think you have a real shot. Your scores are in the right range and gpa isn’t that too far off the mark and you’ve done alot of great stuff. Since your abroad, interview sounds tough to arrange, but make an attempt to have some personal contact with the school. maybe even a phone interview. This school is amazingly accommodating and IMO their goal is to find the right people that will fit in, not just the right stats. IMO they want students you will contribute and be part of a great college community.

I think a solid essay should help you out too. But do contact admissions, let 'em know you’re out of the country, can’t interview, see what accommodation they’ll make for you. Again, IMO it looks to me you’ve got a shot- Best of luck to you.
