First tip: you already applied, relax and wait for your decision. Short of something drastic such as committing a crime or failing classes, there isn’t anything you can do now to affect decisions.

That said, I think you’re a match for EECS. Your GPA is a sliver on the low end, and your ACT is great; using UC’s system, your lower SAT I score won’t matter. The 11 AP classes help, and so does your leadership in founding the chess club. Key club / NHS is typical, but you’ve stuck with them for a while, which shows commitment.

I had very similar stats when I applied a few years ago, and I got into both UCLA and UCB in ECE and EECS respectively.

Good luck, and enjoy your semester!
