I saw your other thread and being non-Caucasian will certainly help as will applying ED, but honestly I don’t think you have great chances. I’m just being brutally honest, but especially if you aren’t sending SAT’s, your grades just aren’t great. I think that grades can be excused if you have an upward trend, but that does not seem to be the case. On the plus side you do have a pretty rigorous schedule. If I were you, I would also write a letter explaining some of your circumstances to the adcom and just reiterate your desire to attend. I wouldn’t say you have no chance, and I’m not a betting man so I don’t want to put odds or anything. You definitely do have some things going for you and I wouldn’t be surprised if you got in. Anyway, best of luck!

PS: After stalking your other posts, I would definitely look into some safety/match schools, because while you might get into a few of the schools you posted about, you could also get rejected from them all. Don’t reach so high, or if you do have some contingency plans.
