The ED admittance rate at many of the LACs is through the roof. Yes, I know that recruited athletes count in the ED category, but I suspect it is more than that–that being so small, these schools need to be as accurate as possible on their yield percentage.
My recommendation is to take the next nine months and try to figure out which of those schools you like the best, through visits and a deep dive into your preferences. They are different–some have a stronger Greek culture, and you may decide you prefer a school in a small city/large town over one more rural. Also, Haverford is the smallest and I think Colgate may be the largest–Colgate may be twice as big as Haverford! That’s not irrelevant.
The creative writing really stands out to me–not to stereotype, but it is less usual from an Asian male and may be a positive to these schools and a way to stand out. Do you submit to journals? There are a ton of publications that encourage teen writers. I subscribe to “Authors Publish Magazine” that sends me a weekly e-mail announcing journals seeking submissions with deadlines over the next month; some are themed, some not. Some have short word limits. May be worthwhile for you–there’s time to get several pieces published over the next year, which would really demonstrate interest. Good luck!
