Should I self-study APES and AP Psychology and take AP World and AP Human Geo even though I may not get an A in AP World? Should I take AP English if I know I will not get an A or a 5 on the AP Exam?

I think my ECs and awards are VERY weak for top colleges.

What are my chances to Columbia College and SEAS? ED? RD?
Where would I place percentile-wise amongst the students accepted to CC/SEAS?
