It seems to me that you have strong classes and grades and your ECs are not only strong but interesting. I completely agree that you need to work on the SATs but you already know that. If you could nudge all your scores into the high 600s or better yet, over 700 that would be great.

I hope you will have a chance to visit the schools as well. I know that our HS college counselor told us that at many of the smaller schools you listed - particularly Bates and Colby - demonstrated interest makes a real difference. So go out of your way to contact them, visit them, ask them questions, etc. Between your interesting background and showing your interest, you should really stand out. Best of luck.
