I want to apply to Wes in the fall, do you think I have a chance?

3.9 GPA UW
30 ACT (I will be retaking it in Sept. to bring it up to a 31,32,33…hopefully)
SAT II’s: 710 US, 720 Math 1

Class-wise I have taken pretty hard classes, the toughest load that is offered at my school and I have taken extra independent study in women’s lit, women’s his, and the history of the english language. Next year I will be taking 5 APs including Calc BC, French 5, Euro, Art His and various others. One thing to take into account is that I will not be taking any science senior year b/c I have taken all accelerated sciences for the past 3 years and the only science courses left for me to take would be APs and I don’t feel it’s worth it to enroll in one of those if I don’t even really enjoy science in the first place or plan on majoring in one of the science fields.

EC:
Everything i have done I have been extremely devoted too and I have not dropped anything.
I have been involved in several respected orchestras for the past 4 yrs, and one of them is a touring orchestra which means I pretty much give up weekends and summers.
I have devoted a lot of time to several political campaigns.
I am a manager on the school newspaper.
Varsity basketball for 4 yrs.
And NHS and Math Club.
I am in the midst of publishing a history research paper in a major journal.

I will major in the gender and sexuality field.

Thanks
