I disagree with @whuffy’s advice. You’re a viable candidate for top schools, the only trouble is you can’t predict which ones will say yes and which will say no, so if you only apply to 1 or 2, you could easily be shut out. Don’t forget to list that you’re a National AP Scholar, btw. Hopefully, you are competing in Intel or Siemens with your SBU project and will do well with it. You’re recs and essays will be important - especially, since you don’t have any leadership positions. I know gibby defines leadership as someone who stands out in class but also a rough rule of thumb is to have a least three leadership positions in the activities you’re passionate about. Good luck!

Sorry, just read over your posts and saw you were captain of some sports actives and mathletes
