Unless you cannot write, or the fates conspire against you, you are in at most of these schools as long as you put adequate time into all your ECs, IMHO (although, like me, you seemed to have joined most after Grade 10, which may be your biggest problem along with the relatively few APs taken–doesn’t feel like that, does it?). I hope you sent art examples to the biggies. ECs show definite concentration of interest and your courses seem A-okay. Good SATs make you a strong candidate at the top schools. What is an AP “Rising Scholar”? And does brown consider foreign language a core subject available for recs?

Keep in mind that I am absolutely NOT certified to tell you whether you are going to get in or not. If you do get in, it will be for art/language.
