The most interesting thing about your app is your patent pending. Any way to get it thru faster?
Also, schools will view your work as equal to an EC- at 15 hours/week, I think your EC’s look good. As everyone has said you have great stats, but those schools are not certain for anyone. I think you have a good shot at getting into a couple of them, but would add one or two safeties to your list. Be sure to add financial safeties if money is a concern.
BTW, I think that your ECs are good. The reason I bring up the patent pending is because your ECs are so similar to all the other students who will be applying. You need to differentiate your self from the other applicants. However, hardly any of them will have a patent. I would play up that part of your application. Read the book “How to be a high school superstar” by Cal Newport.

Yale - accepted - film prod
UCLA - accepted - English
USC - rejected - film prod
So you never can know how it will play out.
Thank you @YoHoYoHo . Congratulations on your DD results. The patent applications might take up to a year. The major is very competitive and I do not know what else I can do at this point to stand out.
@takeitallin I plan to apply to UCSB, UCI,UCD and CSUN as my safety.
