It’s possible, it’s hard to say for sure. The ED pool is smaller because it’s so self selecting, so it will depend on whatever the admissions officers think and how your applications measure up to the rest of the group.

I’d say you and your friend definitely fit the profile, but you should know that there aren’t any garauntees in this game, and a lot factors can play a role. You’re both qualified certainly, but you won’t know until it’s over (not to add an element of stress).

Your SAT is no big deal though. They took me, and i don’t think my math score even broke 600.

And while I hate to disagree with LiT, I think you should stick with your range of EC’s. You should explore everyhting in high school that makes you happy, don’t worry about if you’re doing too much or too little. If you like volunteering, doing literary magazine, etc. etc. I think that can only show that you have diverse interests and good time management skills. Of course, at the top of your resume you should put hte clubs you hold leadership positions in, and if you don’t hold any currently, maybe think about running for one next year. But really, as long as your school work doesn’t suffer, go to town.

Good luck!
