chance me- how much do distinguishing characteristics play a part?

<p>UVA, Uchicago, Emory, NYU (business), UNC, Vanderbilt, Northwestern</p>

<p>Public High School- ranked 44 out of 600 with a 99 weighted GPA (unweighted is like 3.75ish) </p>

<p>Sat: 760 math, 720 CR, 710 writing 10essay
subject tests: 790 U.S. History, 700 Literature, 750 Math2
AP tests: 5 US history, 5 English Language&Composition
I’ll have taken 15 semesters of AP classes after my senior year- I never took a regular class if honors/pre-ap was available, but there were about 2-3 times when I took preAP rather than AP</p>

<p>Extracurriculars- I spend about 15 hours a week playing on a rec basketball league, I’m on the Honor Senate for National Honors Society, I did cross country and lacrosse 9th and 10th grades, I’ve worked out 5 hours a week for the past 3 years (not sure how to / if i should even include this)
*And the thing I’m mostly wondering about- I have an autistic brother that I often am responsible for (several times both of my parents have been out of town and he’s been my sole responsibility, and I can at least make it sound like he limits me from doing stuff since I’m low on extracurriculars) he will also be the topic of the common app essay describing someone who has had an influence on me (which will be pretty well written because I can talk about how he’s made me more understanding/put life into perspective/etc) so yeah.</p>

<p>I’ve also gone on 3 mission trips over the summers totaling about 120 volunteer hours, I spent 64 hours over this past summer volunteering as an aid to the special ed summer school program, and I’m an Eagle scout (got about 50 hours credit for my Project)
Also I’ve gone/will have gone on school trips to London, D.C. (to the inauguration), Italy, and Paris which kind of makes me independent or whatever and I can talk about how I strive to be dynamic/global blabla</p>

<p>So what kind of applicant am I? UT gives auto-admit to top10%ers, but it’s such a large school (with huge class sizes) so I’d like to know what my other options are, thanks.</p>

<p>tell meeeeeeeeee</p>
