If you went to nationals with Academic Bowl, and you are the captain, that definite shows leadership for a new club. Knowing that you show some leadership, I would have ranked you a bit better for your colleges. Just make sure you show the colleges in your essays that your leadership isn’t just titular. Back up your leadership positions with some real, substantial anecdotes or achievements.

But overall, you have a few minor hooks and a great application (competitive for Ivies), and I wouldn’t be surprised if an Ivy accepted you.
