Do I have a chance to get into Wheaton?

These are my stats

G.P.A. 3.3
ACT 31
Rank: 210/404
An academic course load- and 5’s on AP Goverment, History, and Comp History. Right now I am taking AP Bio and AP English Lit. In addition I have taken 3 1/2 yrs of seminary (religious studies)

EC’s
Varsity Wrestling team Captain
Eagle Scout
Mock Trials
We The People
Skill USA Vica
Volunteer Softball Coach
Regular Part-time job for a couple of years
Reflections literature winner
Varsity Swim team

Plus, I am very active in my church organization (I am a Mormon) and I plan to serve an LDS mission after a fall semester. I am a chaplain aide (of sorts)

I just have a couple of questions- are LDS students welcome at Wheaton? Do they think people from Utah are crazy? My dilema (sp) is that I want to go to BYU, but not BYU because it’s only 2 miles away from my home in Provo.

What does everyone think the top religious schools are? Growing up near Brigham Young University, I have always heard that it is a very good school, but what are your objective views?
