Claremont Mckenna is my top choice, and I plan to ED 1 there–will that help? Here are my other stats too

Objective:
ACT Composite: 35, with 36 on Writing
GPA: 3.97 UW, 4.85 W (both are grades 9-12)
Rank: Most likely top 10%
APs: AP World (4), AP Euro (5), AP Bio (4), AP US History (5), Calc BC (5), AP Lang (5)
Senior Course Load: Calc 3 Honors, AP Psych, AP Macro, Philosophy Honors, Band Honors, AP Chem, Span 5 Honors, Honors Seminar in Writing (it’s an auditioned writing course offered at my school)

Subjective:
Extracurriculars: Bowling-Varsity, Ambassadors (Treasurer), Color Guard (Captain for 3 years), Read to Lead (Day Leader), Business Professionals of America (State Finalist twice), National Honor Society (Secretary), Band (quarter master), Jazz Combo
Volunteering: I’ve worked with a couple non-profits over the years, I regularly volunteer at a Nursing Home and at a Hospital as well. Generally, i get over 100+ hours a year.

I did have an interview with an alumni, and I think it went really well–it lasted longer than scheduled, and he said he would definitely recommend me!
