While your stats are nice, I would focus on the essays when applying. These are extremely important as they help communicate things about you that your numbers cannot. If you can craft an interesting and engaging story that will capture the attention of the admissions officer and give them something to remember you by it will benefit you immensely. It will make it easier for them to advocate for you if your application makes it to a regional committee. Having been accepted to Yale, Columbia, the University of Pennsylvania and a few others, I would say that the most important part of the process, across the board, is the writing of a good essay. So start early and pace yourself. You do not want to stress about these things.
