Hello, ever since I visited Lehigh last week, it is now my number one choice. Could you tell me my chance for Lehigh as well as additional tips that would improve my chance? Thank you

Background:
Asian American Male
First generation
State: NJ
Lives in a town with 99% Hispanics
I ran the NPC and my EFC was <3

My Stats:
GPA:4.33 (weighted and my school does not unweight)
Rank: top 2% out of around 450 students
SAT: 1870 (Math 740 CR 540 W 590) :C low I know
ACT:26 (Math 31 Science 27 Reading 23 English 24 Essay 8) :C low too and I’m retaking
Most rigorous course load available at my school

Intended Major: Chemical Engineering (or Biomedial Engineering)

EC:
-M.O.M’s (my outreach mission)
-Performing Arts Academy (performed in 8 plays/dance concerts with major roles in few)
-Cross country track, Indoor Track, Outdoor track (each two years)
-Over 400 hours of community service
-International Thespian Honor Society-Treasure
-National Honors Society-Secretary and running for VP next year(well this upcoming year)
-Peer Mediation
-Some other minor clubs: Math, Italian, Biology, etc.

I believe my essay for the common app is going to be AMAZING (according to GC and my AP english teacher)
My letters of rec are going to be very touching as well (I read one for last years NJ Scholars Application-made semi finalist)

IF YOU COULD SHARE SOME TIPS WITH IT THAT WILL BE AMAZING!!! I HAVE VISITED THE B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L CAMPUS AND ALSO EMAILED THE ADMISSION CONS. WITH SOME QUESTIONS AND SHOWED MY INTEREST.
