I REALLY love Wellesley, a lot… pleeease chance me?

Here it is:
Weighted GPA is above 4.0.
First off, I’m graduating at the end of my junior year, so I don’t know how that will really affect me.
Haven’t taken SAT yet, but I took it in eighth grade and had a 690CR, 640W, and 440M–so I’m expected I’ll be well into the 700’s for CR and W, and probably in the mid-600’s for math (I’m working hard with a tutor).
Taking 1 AP this year, and scheduled for 5 next year.
I won’t be ranked due to my unusual graduation, so that won’t come up…

EC’s:
-Features editor of award winning school-paper; very likely editor-in-chief next year.
-Co-editor of award winning literary magazine; promised editor-in-chief next year (have won many awards for poetry and personal narratives).
-NHS and Foreign Language Honor Society.
-JV softball (by the time I’ve advanced to varsity, it won’t be relevant for apps).
-Highly awarded speaker in Model Congress; very likely executive board position next year.
-Founder of nonprofit environmental organization which is doing a lot within the community, and has a chapter in the school.

Summer prior to ninth grade I took a “What is great literature?” course through the Columbia Summer HSP, summer prior to tenth I took environmental studies courses at Pace University. This coming summer I’m thinking a journalism HS program at Georgetown and language immersion in France.

In addition, I take an online course (“Advanced Expository Writing”) through Stanford University’s Education Program for Gifted Youth, and will take creative writing through that program online this coming summer, in addition to the above plans…

Recs should be good, both coming from teachers who have known me two years apiece; essays should be quite good as well…

The question of college admissions is very confusing for me because early graduation is a difficult card to play… kindly let me know what you think!

Thanks a lot,
Bailey

PS: I live in New York (worst place ever when you’re trying to get into college…) and am Caucasian female. My dad didn’t go to college, but I don’t know if only one parent qualifies me as “first-generation” (something tells me no).
