First, the usual disclaimer: none of us can tell you anything definitively. With that said… I can’t speak to EA, but your stats are extremely similar to my S who applied RD, was accepted and is now part of the Class of 2017 as an OOS student. The only real difference is his ACT was a 34, but the subscores are very similar - your 11W is better. He only had 8 APs to your 11, but he did score 5’s on all of the AP tests and he had excellent SAT II scores. He was not a varsity athlete, and his leadership was longterm in 2 other areas, as is yours.

So, I’d say your stats thus far look solid for OOS. However do NOT underestimate the importance of your essays - both the common app and the UVa supplement. They are very important pieces of the puzzle as well.

Best of luck to you!
