Do I have a chance?

Yeh, I’d say you have a chance but just know that admissions doesn’t always make sense. (especially when you are on the applicant end) I know that I got into duke just fine while my twin brother who had nearly the same everything as me did not. (still not sure why) Just know that you can plan and plan but when it comes down to it college admissions just don’t make sense. That said, I don’t know if I agree with the rest of the people that say Duke is a definite reach for you. You seem pretty strong to me actually. You’ve used your school to the max that it can be so it really doesn’t matter that you only have three AP’s while some others have a ton because you took what your school offers. So I’d say that you should go ahead and apply ED if you really want to go to Duke and if you don’t get in, it isn’t really the end of the world. (I know my brother is perfectly happy at his school now)
