Ah a boarding school, that explains a lot. I go to a boarding school too, so I completely understand the difficulty of getting EC’s. Your courses are strong, and you have great choices for senior year as well. If possible, I’d suggest doing a service project or something of the sort this summer to add to your EC’s, but if that isn’t possible, I think you will still be okay. That said, I would still suggest studying for and taking the SAT or ACT as a good score might help a lot, and it might be significant to schools that don’t require scores (I don’t know if this is true, but if a school doesn’t require scores and you submit a good one, then it’s logical to think that this will be impressive).

Since I know a bit more now, I think the schools I listed as waitlist/reject should be waitlist/accept. Colleges understand how competitive boarding schools are, so that helps put your GPA into context and improve your chances.
