If you involve yourself in some more EC’s, you definitely have a great shot at admissions. I had a similar gpa and lower SAT scores and I was still accepted,
I stress the importance of essays. Do not underestimate the power of well-written essays. I had a spectacular essay that probably swayed me into admission.
While it’s courageous of you to take all those AP classes, make sure you can receive good grades in them. I took 5 AP classes this year, and I had all A’s to send in on my midyear report.
It’s the small features that sway an applicant to admission, imo. Essays, Recs, EC’s, and mid-year reports.
Good luck on your application journey!
